An t-ábhar a bhaineann le "Imní" ar Bánú faoi riachtanais teanga tá ina measc ar fheachtasóirí ag éileamh gníomh ón Rialtas chun tabhairt faoi rátaí diúltaithe iarratais phleanála agus ceisteanna infreastuctúir atá ina mbaic mhóra ar phobal na Gaeltachta cóiríocht chuí a fháil ina gceantair féin. Tá feachtasóirí ag éileamh go leagfar dualgas reachtúil ar Comhairlí Contae i dtaobh caomhnú na Gaeilge mar theanga phobail sa Ghaeltacht. Tá litir seolta ag Bánú chuig Aire na Gaeltachta, Dara Calleary, ag iarraidh air a chinntiú leis an Aire Tithíochta "nach dochar seachas maitheas" a imreoidh na rialacha nua pleanála ar cheantair Ghaeltachta.
Tá Bánú le hiarraidh ar an Aire Tithíochta, Ráiteas Náisiúnta Pleanála as féin a eisiúint don Ghaeltacht, mar a bhí geallta go minic le cúig bhliana anuas. Teastaíonn ón mbrú-ghrúpa go gcuirfear próiseas comhairliúcháin ar bun, "le go bhfaighfear aiseolas faoina bhfuil beartaithe ó na páirtithe leasmhaire cuí, go speisialta ó phobail na Gaeltachta." Cháin Bánú tuairisc ag an deireadh seachtaine ina ndúradh go mbeadh srianta “níos géire” ar iarratais pleanála ag cainteoirí Gaeilge do thithe aonair i gceantair Ghaeltachta.
Tá “cúis iontais” a bhí ann go gcaithfeadh cainteoirí Gaeilge a bheadh ag iarraidh cead tógála sa nGaeltacht a bheith ina gcónaí ar feadh cúig bliana taobh istigh de thrí chiliméadar ón suíomh. "Más fíor é seo, beidh sé níos deacra do chainteoirí Gaeilge atá ag iarraidh cur fúthu sa nGaeltacht cead pleanála a fháil, ná mar atá faoi láthair." "Ní réiteofar an ghéarchéim tithíochta sna ceantair Ghaeltachta, trí shrianta mar sin a chur i bhfeidhm ar chainteoirí Gaeilge atá ag iarraidh teach a thógáil dóibh féin i gceantar ina bhfuil an Ghaeilge in úsáid."

TheJournal.ieIndependentCenterFactual 90Objective 853 days agoThe Irish government has introduced new national planning rules aimed at simplifying rural and Gaeltacht housing regulations. These changes, approved by the cabinet, seek to ease the process of building one-off homes in rural areas by removing restrictions on ribbon development and eliminating caps on the number of homes that can be built on farms. Settlements with fewer than 1,500 residents will automatically be deemed to have a housing need, reducing the likelihood of immediate refusal of planning applications. Minimum road frontage and site size requirements for rural homes are being scrapped. In Gaeltacht regions, applicants must reside within 3 km of the proposed site and have lived there for 10 years, though this requirement can be reduced to five years for those fluent in Irish who demonstrate local need. To qualify for planning permission, applicants must meet either social or economic need criteria, including having lived in the area for at least seven years or intending to reside in the home for at least 10 years. The goal is to encourage local residents, including returnees, to build homes in rural areas while supporting the Irish language in Gaeltacht regions.

The Irish TimesIndependent🔒CenterFactual 85Objective 784 days agoThe Irish Times reports on new rural planning guidelines introduced in Ireland aimed at improving transparency and consistency in rural housing approvals. These guidelines replace regulations from 2005, which were criticized for imposing excessive restrictions on rural housing developments. Minister James Browne highlighted concerns about arbitrary decision-making by local authorities and emphasized the goal of making the process more predictable. The new rules differentiate between various rural settings, including Gaeltacht areas and regions near cities, and require applicants to demonstrate economic or social needs for living in specific locations. While remote workers are not considered to meet economic need, they may still qualify based on social need if they have resided nearby for a significant period. The guidelines also include occupancy requirements to prevent short-term residency.

The Irish TimesIndependent🔒CenterFactual 80Objective 655 days ago “Imní” ar Bánú faoi riachtanais teangaThe Irish language advocacy group Bánú has expressed concerns over proposed planning regulations that could impact Gaelic-speaking communities. They argue that new planning rules, which would require local authorities to consider Irish as a community language in Gaeltacht areas, might inadvertently hinder access to housing for Irish speakers. Bánú has written to the Minister for Housing, Dara Calleary, requesting clarification on whether these new planning regulations would negatively affect Gaelic-speaking residents seeking homes in Gaeltacht areas. The group emphasizes the need for a consultative process involving representatives from Gaelic-speaking communities. Additionally, the article mentions a cultural festival, TradFest, taking place on Inishmore, featuring traditional music, poetry, and storytelling.
