Meanwhile, just 0.28pc posts, across all of the social media channels of the Department of the Environment, were in Irish. The Department of Finance could not even provide a figure.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt should be acknowledged that the Department of Education is an outlier. 44pc of its tweets were bilingual while 40pc of its Facebook posts were available in Irish. The Department of \u00a0Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media also fared better than most. It confirmed that departmental posts relating to the Gaeltacht, or the Irish language, are always posted in Irish.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile a number of Ministers assured me they would improve their level of social media communication in Irish, others gave little indication there were any plans to improve \u2013 or, indeed, any perceived problem.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cContrast these low numbers with social media from Welsh government departments, which have nearly 50pc Welsh or bilingual posts. It is a central element of their communications policy for all posts to be in both Welsh and English.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI must confess, I am one of those people with very poor Irish who wants to learn more. When we lose our language we lose a part of our culture.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEncouraging the everyday use of Irish will ensure it survives as a living language. Consequently, social media is an obvious tool to employ if the government wishes to boost the use of the Irish language.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe use of Irish or bilingual social media posts are not just for fluent Irish-speakers \u2013 it\u2019s about fostering an environment in which the public is helped, and encouraged, to improve and use our Irish.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI would hope the results of this survey are a wake-up call for government and their use of the Irish language when communicating with the public \u2013 in every fora \u2013 improves.<\/p>\n<p>31 May, 2021<\/p>\n<p>Ends<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Cinnteoidh moladh \u00fas\u00e1id laeth\u00fail na Gaeilge go mairfidh s\u00ed mar theanga bheo\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>T\u00e1 n\u00edos l\u00fa n\u00e1 4% de phost\u00e1lacha mhe\u00e1in sh\u00f3isialta tr\u00ed Ghaeilge \u00f3n gcuid is m\u00f3 de rann\u00f3ga an rialtais, dar le TD na nDaonlathaithe S\u00f3isialta, Holly Cairns.<\/p>\n<p>Arsa Cairns:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cT\u00e1 pr\u00f3if\u00edl\u00ed mhe\u00e1in sh\u00f3sialta ag gach roinn rialtais ar \u00e1rd\u00e1in \u00e1irithe, agus mar sin, bheifear ag s\u00fail le post\u00e1lacha rialta i nGaeilge \u00f3 na cuntais seo.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNuair a chuir m\u00e9 ceisteanna parlaiminte ar roinnt rann\u00f3g, \u00e1fach, maidir le post\u00e1lacha as Gaeilge n\u00f3 d\u00e1theangacha thar an mbliain seo thart \u2013 \u00f3 1 Bealtaine 2020 go 30 Aibre\u00e1n 2021 \u2013 b\u00e1 mh\u00f3r an d\u00edom\u00e1 a bh\u00ed orm toisc na bhfreagra\u00ed a fuair m\u00e9.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDon chuid is m\u00f3, bh\u00ed n\u00edos l\u00fa n\u00e1 4% de na post\u00e1lacha go d\u00e1theangach n\u00f3 as Gaeilge, agus n\u00ed raibh faic curtha amach ag dh\u00e1 rann\u00f3g: An Roinn um Chosaint Sh\u00f3isialta agus an Roinn Breisoideachais &amp; Ardoideachais.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cN\u00ed raibh ach 0.5% as 1,223 tweets \u00f3n Roinn Fiontair, Tr\u00e1d\u00e1la agus Fosta\u00edochta tr\u00ed Ghaeilge.
