It's hoped the project will help foster a sense of identity and pride among Irish speakers of all backgrounds
A new heritage project will launch next week that will document the revival of Irish language in Belfast.
Spórtlann’s Pilib Ó Ruanaidh said: “We are in possession of a remarkable archive documenting the Irish language revival. The GaelStair project will include a new outdoor exhibition at the busy Spórtlann na hÉireann complex, where thousands of Irish and non-Irish speakers from across the community socialise during sporting and cultural events.
“Presently, this remarkable story lies in boxes and cupboards in an unused corner of our site. With this new funding, we will be able to properly organise this archive, and to bring the story contained within to life. It is a source of tremendous pride to the school that Coláiste Feirste pupils and Spórtlann visitors walking up our lane will soon be met by an attractive and compelling exhibition telling the story of our language.
