Irish Language Scheme

Launch of Irish Language Scheme for Tipperary County Council

The Minister of State at the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media, Mr. Jack Chambers, T.D., recently confirmed Tipperary County Council’s first scheme under the Official Languages Act 2003.

The Scheme shall remain in force for a period of 3 years from the 1st May, 2021 or until a new scheme has been approved, whichever is the later.

The Cathaoirleach of Tipperary County Council Councillor Michael Smith said: “I am delighted that the Council’s commitment to our native language is now officially recognised in our Irish Language Scheme”.

Chief Executive Joe MacGrath added: “The Council is seeking to promote and further facilitate those who wish to interact with us in Irish. The Irish Language Scheme is a welcome and positive move in this regard”.

Actions under the scheme will be introduced in the following months and will include:

• Publication of a dedicated page regarding Irish on our website www.tipperarycoco.ie
• Publication of a dedicated email address for queries in Irish.
• Regular use of basic greeting in Irish by Customer Services Desk staff.

A bilingual version of the Scheme will be made available on our website.
