Údarás na Gaeltachta is looking to build affording housing for Irish speakers in An Cheathrú Rua.
The board has approved a housing initiative, supporting by funding of €250 thousand, to develop a model of affordable housing in three Gaeltacht areas.
They are An Ceathrú Rua in Connemara, An Rinn, Co. Waterford and Gaoth Dobhair, Co. Donegal - and all three sites are within existing settlements.
Údarás is now seeking expressions of interest from local authorities, housing bodies and other relevant organisations to partner in the scheme.
