A total of 2,978 people are employed in Údarás na Gaeltachta supported companies across the Gaeltacht in Galway, the highest figure since 2000.
Údarás-supported companies also created 237 new jobs in the Galway Gaeltacht last year with seven new businesses established. These figures have been welcomed by Minister for the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Islands, Seán Kyne, who said both the jobs, and the range of companies, were “vital for the west of Ireland economy as well as the Irish language”.
