Is í aidhm na n-aistí sa leabhar seo moltaí forásacha a chur i láthair le cumas a thabhairt do Ghaeil ina ndúshláin chomhaimseartha agus le díospóireacht bhisiúil a chothú ina leith.

Tabharfaidh sin misneach agus dóchas dóibh siúd ar mór acu an Gaelachas agus tacóidh moltaí an fhoilseacháin leis na pobail ar mian leo brí a thabhairt don fhéiniúlacht seo. Féachann an anailís úr seo le héalú as an dioscúrsachas ciorclach, trí mheán cruthaitheacht straitéiseach i leith thosca casta comhaimseartha na nGael agus na nÉireannach.

This collection of four essays examines the circumstances of the Gaeltacht and the Irish language in the 20th century. Given the current crisis in the Gaeltacht, the authors propose radical measures to enhance Gaeltacht and Irish sustainability.

It is clear that the status quo is not working for the Gaeltacht and an alternative approach is set out in this book. The four central initiatives proposed are: Irish linguistic zones;  Community Trusts for the Gaels; Assembly for the Gaels; Academy for the Gaels. The innovative analysis and proposals in the book set out a positive and optimistic agenda for the Gaelic community.
