Show Your Support for Lá Nua, the Irish Language Daily Newspaper

The future of Irish language daily newspaper, Lá Nua, hangs in the balance after the paper’s primary funders have threatened to stop supporting the paper. Lá Nua editor Concubhar Ó Liatháin has created a petition to urge Foras na Gaeilge to continue to provide funding for the 24-year-old community resource:

We request the Board of Foras na Gaeilge, the cross border Irish language body, to support Lá Nua, the Irish language daily newspaper,to ensure its survival and to put a proper basis under the future development of the Irish language print journalism. We also request the Irish and British Governments to come to the aid of the newspaper by guaranteeing it equality of treatment with regard to the publication of public advertisements in Irish and in English.
