Prof Conchúr Ó Giollagáin: Political leadership needed to break Gaelic impasse

By Professor Conchúr Ó Giollagáin A year of political and official public consultation on the Gaelic Crisis publication has yielded little of consequence for the remaining communities of vernacular Gaels. The report concluded that the decline of Gaelic as a community language in the islands has reached the point of societal collapse and that, under current circumstances, no native-speaking Gaelic community, in any meaningful socio-geographic density, will survive beyond this decade anywhere in Scotland. Official bodies with responsibility for Gaelic promotion remain in denial about the severity of the challenges facing these communities. Despite the issues highlighted in the report, and the calls for action among the community, there has been no clear official statement recognising the level of crisis, nor any admission of the need for significant strategic reform to halt the loss of remaining Gaelic social geographies in the islands.

Scotland s official bodies in denial over Gaelic crisis, expert warns

OFFICIAL bodies with responsibility for Gaelic remain in denial about the severity of the crisis facing the language, a leading expert has said. Professor Conchúr Ó Giollagáin said Bòrd na Gàidhlig, Scotland s Gaelic quango, may be seeking to kill reform with kindness and called for political leadership to break the current impasse. It comes just over a year after a major study led by Ó Giollagáin warned Gaelic-speaking communities are unlikely to survive anywhere in Scotland beyond this decade unless urgent action is taken. Writing in today s Herald on Sunday, he said: Official bodies with responsibility for Gaelic promotion remain in denial about the severity of the challenges facing these communities.

Prof Conchúr Ó Giollagáin: Gaelic crisis requires more than cultural promotion

Under existing and extremely challenging circumstances, Gaelic public bodies will soon outlive Gaelic communities. This outcome, despite over a generation of official Gaelic promotion, is analysed in our recently published Scottish Affairs article on ‘Moving beyond Asocial Minority-Language Policy’, co-authored with Iain Caimbeul. The inadequate strategic response to the Gaelic communities in crisis has its origins in four inter-related issues: the emphasis on the institutional status of Gaelic rather than on cultural and socio-economic development for Gaelic communities; the limitations of the 2005 Gaelic Act, as seen in the questionable relevance of poorly verified public authority Language Plans; the atomisation of Gaelic culture, whereby capable individuals benefit from the opportunities which the institutional promotion of Gaelic has provided; and the ideological acquiescence by key Gaelic power brokers in the sectoral provision of the Gaelic status quo.
