Coiste Léann na Gaeilge agus an Léinn Cheiltigh
The purpose of Coiste Léann na Gaeilge, Litríocht na Gaeilge agus na gCultúr Ceilteach is to provide a forum whereby the members can promote the study of Irish, Literature in Irish and the Celtic Cultures, nationally and internationally with the authority of the Academy.
As part of its duty, the committee maintains contact with state agencies and in particular with the Higher Education Authority, with academic institutions and with various organizations and associations on issues relating to the study of Irish, Irish Language Literature and the Celtic Cultures. One of its duties is to prepare submissions relating to these areas of study and to make public statements relating to them as appropriate.
Committee meetings and all of the business of the committee is conducted through Irish.
As committee members are specialists in these areas, with wide experience of teaching Irish at third level, it is expected that the committee will take an active part in projects established to provide texts and textbooks that are necessary for the study of Irish at third level, as appropriate.
