University Education in Irish

[Harold F. Schiffman]

UNIVERSITY EDUCATION IN IRISH: CHALLENGES AND PERSPECTIVES
DUBLIN CITY UNIVERSITY, FEBRUARY 7-8 2003

This conference - "University Education in Irish: challenges and
perspectives" - is being organised in the context of the ongoing Irish
national debate about how best to develop third-level education through
the medium of the Irish language.  The conference is being organised by
the Irish-medium centre for enterprise education, FIONTAR, at Dublin City
University.  FIONTAR wishes to contribute to this debate by focussing on
the strategies required to serve the scattered Irish language community,
on an all-Ireland basis.  To this end, we have invited experts dealing
with university education in Ireland and specialists from other countries
where minority languages are spoken.
