Proposed by: Gaelscoil Baile Brigín
This Conference asks the Department of Education and the National Council for Special Education to give a written confirmation that Irish is the language of employment, teaching and learning in any special class operating in L1 schools.

Irish-medium early years – Na Naíonraí
This Conference asks the Department of Children to reinstate the subsidy scheme for naíonraí to tackle the current recruitment crisis in the sector. This scheme will help with the sustainability of Irish language services, to ensure that there will be the option of immersion education at pre-school level.
Proposed by: Bord Stiúrtha Gaeloideachas
Immersion education internationally
The community of this gaelscoil recommends that Gaeloideachas develops a pilot initiative that fosters a partnership between Irish-medium/Gaeltacht schools in Ireland and immersion schools abroad under the Erasmus Program in order to share good practice, strengthen the understanding of immersion education and broaden networking across immersion education practitioners.
Proposed by: Gaelscoil na nDéise
Language requirements for initial teacher education
This Conference recommends that no change be made to the language requirements for entry into teacher training colleges, especially regarding the results of the Leaving Certificate.
This Conference requests that the TEG system be used to improve the quality of student teachers’ Irish.
Proposed by: Bord Stiúrtha
Polasaí don Oideachas lán-Ghaeilge
This Conference asks the Department of Education to develop and publish a Policy for Irish-medium Education outside of the Gaeltacht that is strong, thorough and comprehensive.
Proposed by: Bord Stiúrtha
Additional resolution
This Conference welcomes the decision taken by the Minister of Education not to implement the amendment whereby Paper 1 Irish in the Leaving Certificate would be held at the end of Year 5 in the 2023/2024 school year and the Conference asks that the Minister withdraw this recommendation entirely.
Proposed by: Bunscoil Sancta Maria
