The 20-Year Strategy for the Irish Language 2010–2030 ( Irish: Straitéis 20 Bliain don Ghaeilge 2010–2030) is a policy and planning document launched by the Government of Ireland on 20 December 2010 and which will be in operation until December 2030.

Aim and outcomes

The main aim of the strategy was stated to be to increase the number of daily Irish speakers in Ireland to 250,000 by 2030. [1] [2] [3] In the 2011 census this number was 77,185. By the time of the 2016 census, more than a quarter of the life of the strategy having passed, it had dropped to 73,803, and in the 2022 census, it had dropped further to 71,968. [4]

Action plan

In June 2018, the Minister of State for the Irish Language, Gaeltacht and the Islands Joe McHugh TD launched the first cross-governmental Action Plan for the 20-Year Strategy for the strategy, which was to operate between 2018 and 2022. [5]
