Galway Bay fm newsroom - Living in the Gaeltacht is a far greater challenge than living outside it.

It focused on areas including education, health, age profiles and employment and social opportunities.

The report aims to provide an evidence-based picture of what life is like in the Gaeltacht - and to use it to guide improved development policy.
