The following is a list of Irish language organistions who form part of the Irish Language Movement. There is no coordinating organisation or body for the entire movement. Up until 2014 Comhdháil Náisiúnta na Gaeilge (The National Irish Language Congress) was the coordinating body of the Irish language voluntary sector on the island of Ireland but a new funding scheme implemented that year by Foras na Gaeilge ended funding to half of the organisations under Comhdháil's remit, including Comhdháil Náisiúnta na Gaeilge itself. As part of the same new funding process six funded lead organisations were announced by Foras na Gaeilge with extra funding. These are: Gael Linn, Gaeloideachas, Cumann na bhFiann, Conradh na Gaeilge, Oireachtas na Gaeilge and Glór na nGael.[1] [2] [3]
