Scope and content
A handbill outlining the objectives of Conradh na Gaeilge (Gaelic League). The primary aim of the League was the ‘preservation of Irish as the national language of Ireland, and the extension of its use as a spoken tongue’. A secondary objective was to encourage ‘the study and publication of existing Irish literature and the cultivation of a modern literature in Irish’.
