Galway Gaeltacht Election Set to Shake Up Údarás

Another Galway election looms as a new bill expands Údarás na Gaeltachta’s board from 12 to 16 members—with 10 slots directly elected from Gaeltacht regions. Minister Dara Calleary opted against full election, giving Galway the biggest voice with three seats covering Connemara, the Aran Islands, and parts of Galway city. This shift from past county-wide voting sparks debate over fairness, especially for areas with fewer Irish speakers. Watch closely as campaigns heat up and new voices reshape the future of the Gaeltacht board. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
