Partnership Branches
A Partnership branch is an Irish language group with their own legal status that still wishes to be a part of Conradh na Gaeilge (for example a Gaeltacht cooperative, Irish language groups with their own company status, etc.)
Frequently Asked Questions
These types of groups will now be able to register as a Partnership branch and take part in the organisation, for example by submitting a motion to the Ard-Fheis (except Constitutional motions), electing people on to the business committee, attending organisational event etc. The Partnership branch will still follow their own governance responsibilities as a company or otherwise, not under Conradh na Gaeilge’s governance status of a trust.
The organization is owned by the Branches and Individual Members and operates on the motions promoted by the members. As a partnership branch, you will be able to promote the needs of the community in which you work and add them to the agenda of Conradh na Gaeilge.
The voice of your community will be heard as we represent the Irish language and Gaeltacht community (with Government Ministers, officials in the various Government Departments, the private sector as a whole, etc.)

An organisational branch is a direct subsidiary of Conradh na Gaeilge.
A partnership branch has their own legal status. Conradh na Gaeilge will have no involvement in the finances, insurance, or legal practices of a partnership branch. Such affairs are the business of the partnership branch only.
