As you are aware I have decided to co-locate COGG with the NCCA. The two organisations will move into new accommodation over the summer. I believe this new arrangement will better facilitate the implementation of the recommendations of the 20 Year Strategy for Irish, 2010 - 2030, The Gaeltacht Act 2012 and the reform currently underway on Irish curricula in primary and post primary. The NCCA has embarked on major reforms of the curricula in Irish for primary, junior cycle and senior cycle. As the NCCA work progresses, COGG will concurrently and collaboratively be creating resource materials to support the teaching and learning of Irish in both Irish medium schools and also in English medium schools. This collaborative approach will assist with the delivery of a quality learning experience for our students.
