The term "Gaeltacht" refers to regions in Ireland where the Irish language, or Gaeilge, is predominantly spoken. These areas are recognized for their cultural significance and efforts to promote the use of the Irish language in daily life. The Gaeltacht regions are primarily located along the western coast of Ireland, including parts of County Kerry, County Galway, and County Donegal. Gaeltacht communities often receive support from the Irish government to preserve and enhance the use of the Irish language. This includes funding for schools, cultural events, and language courses. The Gaeltacht plays a vital role in maintaining Ireland's linguistic heritage and fostering a sense of identity among its speakers.
