The Gaeltacht Act 2012 gives statutory effect to the language planning process under which language plans will be prepared at community level in areas which could be recognised under the Act as Gaeltacht Language Planning Areas, as Gaeltacht Service Towns or as Irish Language Networks.
Communities are granted a period of time to prepare and implement language plans. Under the legislation, the department is responsible for evaluating language plans prior to approval. The department will also have responsibility for periodically reviewing the implementation of the language plans.
