An Coiste Téarmaíochta

An Coiste Téarmaíochta is the language council of Irish Gaelic that chooses Gaelic terminology for words and new concepts. It was founded in 1968. It was a division of the Department of Education from when it was founded to 1999. Under the Good Friday Agreement Foras na Gaeilge was founded and was charged with the development of new terminology in Irish Gaelic and An Coiste Téarmaíochta has been operating as part of the Foras since then.

Membership

There are 20 members on the Coiste Téarmaíochta. They are people from universities, state bodies and language bodies, and experts on various matters. They meet monthly (except for August) in Dublin.
