An Chomhdháil Bhliantúil<br />
Irish language course at Downings in Donegal is organised by Comhairle Uladh supported and<br />
promoted by the fo-choiste. Unfortunately only 20 Gaels from <strong>Tyrone</strong> undertook this fee free<br />
course. I being one found it most helpful and would recommend it to anyone.<br />
The biggest problem with promoting and developing the Irish language in <strong>Tyrone</strong> is the fact that<br />
no one knows exactly what levels of Irish are used in the clubs of the county. To address this<br />
problem <strong>Coiste</strong> Cultúir decided to organise an audit of Irish with in <strong>Tyrone</strong>. Unfortunately the<br />
initial response was poor so we appealed to the clubs a second time for a more positive response<br />
and currently a total of twenty seven clubs responded to the questionnaire. This is about half of<br />
the clubs in the county. It is hoped that the results of the audit will be ready for the convention.<br />
The strategy for the promotion of the Irish language would be best left to the incoming Culture<br />
and Language committee.<br />
With the ever increasing work load in clubs it proved difficult on occasion to make contact with<br />
one person who was involved with the promotion of Scór and / a Cultural/Language officer. As<br />
an area of development we decided to compile a database of current cultural officers and make<br />
direct contact with them through the newly established email address - culture@tyrone.gaa.ie<br />
(for those of you who don’t know and may need it!). Each club, men’s, ladies and hurling clubs,<br />
were circulated with questionnaires asking for details of cultural officers so that a proper data<br />
base could be set up. This will also improve the line of communication between the culture<br />
committee and the clubs in general but unfortunately to date we currently have just over 30<br />
names. We urge clubs at AGMs to please make an effort to appoint one or two individuals who<br />
are interested in promotion of cultural and language activities. It will add a new dimension to<br />
the club and make your club accessible to those who are not currently involved.<br />

<strong>Coiste</strong> Cultúir agus Teanga would like to pay tribute to the contribution made to cultural affairs<br />
in this county by Anna McCaughey. Anna McCaughey took the decision, at the start of this year,<br />
to step back from her involvement in the Culture committee. Anna was part of the first<br />
committee promoting cultural affairs in the county and her contribution can only be described as<br />
immense. Equally our thanks goes to Anna for the statistics produced here today of all the Scór<br />
winners at local level from Scór was started in <strong>Tyrone</strong>. But for her foresight records like these<br />
would have been lost for ever. Thank you Anna.<br />
