Annual Report
CnaG aims to achieve Secure Status for Gaelic and to promote and establish the conditions for
Gaelic to grow and flourish, by working in partnership with others, particularly through Gaelic
Medium Education, cultural enrichment and community development.
“I can assure you that we shall continue to provide support for Gaelic-Medium education. Funding for the
Scheme of Specific Grants to Local Authorities is increasing under the Comprehensive Spending Review by
£200,000 in each of the next three years to £2.834 million in 2001-2002. The funding of £300,000 for
Gaelic-medium pre-school provision will be continued for the next three years. We are also maintaining
the provision for Gaelic broadcasting and consulting on the future of Gaelic broadcasting. The grants to
organisations promoting the Gaelic language and Gaelic arts have been increased and will increase
further in the next three years.”
Rt. Hon Tony Blair MP, Prime Minister,
in a letter to Mairi Bremner, Chair, CnaG, October 1998, after his visit to Scalpay.
“Your languages are important, they are the riches of Europe. But they will not survive
if you do not use them. Do not be ashamed, be proud of your language.”
Bojan Brezigar, President,
European Bureau of Lesser Used Languages, lurosgoil ’99, Stornoway.
