Gaillimh le Gaeilge will take to the streets and shopping centres of the city this weekend encouraging the public to take part in a survey on the status of Gaeilge in Galway.
Gaillimh le Gaeilge recently conducted an online survey to determine the current status of the Irish language in the city and were “delighted with the response”.
The survey was carried out by Edgecast Media Ltd, an independent research company as part of an overall study that will specify the contemporary linguistic situation of Irish in Galway in order to support the case for an official bilingual status for the city.
To include as many people as possible in the survey Edgcecast Media Ltd will take to the streets this weekend, visiting all the shopping centres.
“Gaillimh le Gaeilge would really appreciate if you would call into your local shopping centre and complete the survey,” said a GleG spokesperson. “No matter what your level of fluency or comprehension, Gaillimh le Gaeilge would greatly appreciate your response. It should take no longer than 10 minutes of your time but will be invaluable. The information given to them will be treated in strict confidence.”
