A five year plan to increase the use of Gaelic in South Ayrshire has been approved by Councillors.
Once the plan has been approved by Bòrd na Gàidhlig, parents children and staff will be encouraged to learn and use Gaelic.
The plan replaces the previous plan, which ran until 2025.
While recognising that there is limited demand at present for Gaelic in South Ayrshire, the plan recognises that it’s important there is support for those who want to learn and use the language.
You can see from the paper that there are many opportunities for people to indicate an interest in learning Gaelic, and when that interest is sufficient then we are clearly able to provide that for them.

Councillor Alec Clark commented “Sacred Heart School in Girvan ran a
very successful season of Gaelic which went down really well.”
