Dublin
In a special report on 13 January 2009 on Nuacht TG4 news, it was confirmed that a group in Ballymun, in conjunction with the local branch of Glór na nGael, had received planning permission to build 40 homes for people who want to live in an Irish-speaking community in the heart of the city.
Ballymun, a predominantly working-class area, already has two Gaelscoileanna (Irish-medium primary schools). Irish language classes will be organised for those who want to improve their Irish. It is expected that the project will be complete by the end of 2012. The group hopes that their project may become a prototype for other similar mini-Ghaeltachts around the country.
