Ballinrobe Language Plan: Business Community Survey/ Plean Teanga Bhaile an Róba: Suirbhé don Lucht Gnó

Survey for the business community/
Suirbhé don lucht gnó

Background
The government has nominated Ballinrobe as a Gaeltacht Service Town (Baile Seirbhíse Gaeltachta). To obtain this status, a language plan is currently being prepared for Ballinrobe. This language plan will then be implemented over a seven-year period. A language plan is a document in which the aims and recommendations of various interest groups – business owners, for example – are set out regarding the promotion and use of Irish in Ballinrobe in various social domains – in business or in education, for example.

A team of researchers from Acadamh na hOllscolaíochta Gaeilge, in the University of Galway, are responsible for writing the plan and for collating the relevant research, in co-operation with Gnó Mhaigh Eo. The aim of the language plan is to increase knowledge and daily use of Irish in Ballinrobe through the promotion and cultivation of various language-based domains: cultural, social, educational, sporting, youth, business, and media.

Business is recognised as an important domain in which Irish can be harnessed as an economic resource in Ballinrobe. To that end, we would be interested in hearing your views on the use and promotion of Irish in business in Ballinrobe. Have your views heard by filling in this bilingual survey. It will take you approximately 7 minutes to complete the survey. This is a confidential survey.

Cúlra
Aithníonn an rialtas Baile an Róba mar Bhaile Seirbhíse Gaeltachta (Gaeltacht Service Town). Chun an stádas sin a bhaint amach, is gá Plean Teanga a scríobh don cheantar. Cuirfear an plean sin i bhfeidhm thar thréimhse 7 mbliana. Is éard is brí le ‘Plean Teanga’ ná cáipéis ina leagtar amach na haidhmeanna, na mianta agus na moltaí atá ag grúpaí éagsúla sa cheantar – úinéirí gnó, mar shampla – maidir le cur chun cinn na Gaeilge i réimsí éagsúla i mBaile an Róba – saol an ghnó nó an córas oideachais, mar shampla.

Tá foireann taighdeoirí as Acadamh na hOllscolaíochta Gaeilge, in Ollscoil na Gaillimhe, freagrach as an bplean teanga a scríobh agus as an taighde ábhartha a dhéanamh lena aghaidh. Cuirfear an obair seo i gcrích i gcomhar le Gnó Mhaigh Eo. An aidhm atá leis an bplean ná eolas agus úsáid laethúil na Gaeilge a chothú agus a mhéadú i mBaile an Róba trí bhéim a leagan ar réimsí éagsúla cultúrtha, sóisialta, oideachais agus spóirt gan trácht ar an óige, saol an ghnó agus na meáin chumarsáide.

Tá cúrsaí gnó aitheanta againn mar réimse fíorthábhachtach ina bhféadfaí úsáid na Gaeilge a chur chun cinn mar acmhainn luachmhar gheilleagrach. Chuige sin, bheadh an fhoireann taighdeoirí buíoch díot dá bhféadfá an suirbhé dátheangach seo a chomhlánú. Tógfaidh sé 7 nóiméad ort an suirbhé a chomhlánú. Coinneofar an t-eolas seo faoi rún.
