Irish speakers within the Derry and Strabane District Council area are encouraged to attend the next meeting of the Irish Language Community Network Forum, taking place on Wednesday, September, 30 at 6pm in the Guildhall.

This forum offers an opportunity for the local community to hear first-hand about the work being undertaken by the Commissioner for the Irish Language, Pól Deeds, to develop best practice standards for Irish language services. These standards aim to ensure robust access to public services and information in Irish from public authorities.

Attendees will also have the unique chance to ask questions directly to the Commissioner and his team.

Please note that this meeting will be conducted in the medium of Irish.
