Glór na nGael (Irish pronunciation: [ˈɡl̪ˠoːɾˠ n̪ˠə ˈŋeːl̪ˠ]; "voice of the Gaels") is an Irish-language lead organisation funded by Foras na Gaeilge which promotes and supports Irish in three sectors: the family, community development, and business. It was established as an Irish language community group competition[1] in 1961, and Cardinal Tomás Ó Fiaich and Monsignor Pádraig Ó Fiannachta were among its founders.

Competition

The Comórtas Ghlór na nGael competition includes a prize fund of over €80,000 with themes encompassing several aspects of community life.[citation needed] The organisation presents several special awards on an annual basis.[2] Glór na nGael's adjudication groups visit each committee towards the end of the year to assess the progress made and award marks towards the competition. A written report is provided to each committee detailing their progress and providing any further advice or recommendations.

Fondúireacht Sheosaimh Mhic Dhonncha

Fondúireacht Sheosaimh Mhic Dhonncha ("Joe McDonagh Foundation" in English) is a support scheme[5] of the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) and Glór na nGael which is aimed at GAA clubs that are engaged in the promotion of the Irish language.[6] The scheme is administered by Glór na nGael in collaboration with the GAA National Committee.

The foundation was named in honour of Joe McDonagh, a former president of the Gaelic Athletic Association and chief executive of Foras na Gaeilge.

The purpose of the foundation is to recognise and support the work done by GAA clubs. Bronze, silver and gold medals are awarded to clubs at the end of the year – depending on the number of goals set by the foundation that clubs have achieved.[citation needed]

Irish language games

Glór na nGael is the Irish publisher of the Scrabble[7] and Junior Scrabble[8] word games,[9] and in 2015 it also published the Irish-language version of the Monopoly board game.[10] It has also published the Irish language version of Cluedo[11] and Monopoly Junior which was launched as part of Lá Spraoi na Gaeilge 2024 in Letterkenny.
