Oifig na Gaeilge


Oifig na Gaeilge fosters and promotes the use of Irish in County Mayo and assists in the development and implementation of Mayo Local Authorities' bilingual policy.

Mayo is a Gaeltacht County with a vibrant Irish speaking community. The Gaeltacht areas of Iorras, Acaill, Inis Bigil and Tuar Mhic Éadaigh are rich in folklore, writing, music, historical and archaeological sites and most importantly, are areas of the spoken Irish language. The Council is committed to the protection of the County's unique linguistic heritage and to the promotion of Irish as the community language in its Gaeltacht areas.
