An Ghaeilge i dTuaisceart Éireann

Is éard atá i gceist leis an nGaeilge i dTuaisceart Éireann ná an teanga Cheilteach sin a labhraítear sa chuid sin den oileán.

Teanga oifigiúil í an Ghaeilge, i gcomhair le Bearla, i ndiadh reachtú "Identity and Language (Northern Ireland) Act".

De réir an daonairimh is deanaí (2021), tá cumas éigean i nGaeilge ag 228,617 (12.45%) nduine . Teanga comhluadair í an Ghaeilge fá choinne 5,969 (0.32%) nduine.

Don chéad uair riamh, d'fhiafraigh foirm ceiste an daonairimh minicíocht labhartha Gaeilge.

Dúradh:

Gur labhair 43,557 (2.37%) nduine Gaeilge ar bun laethúil.

Gur labhair 26,285 (1.43%) dhuine Gaeilge ar bun seachtainúil

Nár labhair 47,143 (2.57%) dhuine Gaeilge go minic, ach mar sin féin bhí cumas Gaeilge labhartha acu

Cé nach bhfuil aon eolas beacht ann i dtaobh líon na múinteoirí a bhí cáilithe an Ghaeilge a mhúineadh idTuaisceart Éireann i rith luathbhlianta na 1920idí ná líon na scoileanna a bhí i gceist is féidir meastachán maith a dhéanamh bunaithe ar staitisticí oideachais. Ar an gcuid ba mhó bhí suas le 380 múinteoir a raibh buncháilíochtaí sa Ghaeilge acu ag múineadh an ábhair in 177 mbunscoil poiblí (mar a bhí á thabhairt ar na scoileanna náisiúnta faoin tráth seo). B'ionann sin agus isteach nó amach le 34% de na múinteoirí i mbunscoileanna poiblí sin a bhí faoi bhainistíocht Chaitliceach nó 8% de mhóriomlán na mbunmhúinteoirí idTuaisceart Éireann.

Tá tagairt i gcomhaid de chuid na hAireachta do 271 múinteoir Gaeilge in 191 scoil i rith na tréimhse sin anuas go dtí 1927. Ní áirítear ina measc, áfach, an líon sin de na múinteoirí nach mbíodh deis acu an t-ábhar a mhúineadh ar chor ar bith. Tugann staitisticí scrúduithe scoileanna le fios go raibh ar a laghad múinteoir amháin Gaeilge ag gach uile cheann de na 245 scoil a bhí faoi bhainistíocht Chaitliceach is é sin isteach is amach le 31% den mhóriomlán i dTuaisceart Éireann. Tá an Nua-Ghaeilge ar fáil mar chuid den chúrsa céime sa Léann Ceilteach ag Ollscoil na Banríona agus mar ábhar roghnach i gColáiste Mhuire.
