CMAL launches Gaelic Language Plan Consultation

Caledonian Maritime Assets Ltd (CMAL) has published its draft Gaelic Language Plan for 2010-2015 and is now looking for feedback from the public.

Following the Gaelic Language (Scotland) Act 2005, the plan sets out how CMAL will use Gaelic in the operation of its functions, how staff will enable the use of Gaelic when communicating with the public and key partners, and how the company overall will promote and develop Gaelic, contributing to Scotland’s diverse culture.

The draft plan and details of the consultation process are now available to view on CMAL’s website www.cmassets.co.uk and those who wish to respond can do so by filling out an on-line feedback form.

CMAL is seeking as many responses as possible in order to produce a final plan which reflects the aspirations of the communities served by CMAL.

Chairman of CMAL, Grenville Johnston, commented: ”We appreciate the support that Bòrd na Gàidhlig has been given us to implement our plan and we look forward to enhancing our services for Gaelic users and raising the profile of Gaelic as a recognised language.”
