Business Signage Funding

Foras na Gaeilge is offering match-funding to all Small & Medium Enterprises (SMEs) through the scheme outlined below.

To avail of this assistance, simply forward the details of your company on the appropriate form along with the costing quote via post to:

Foras na Gaeilge, 7 Cearnóg Mhuirfean, Baile Átha Cliath 2

This funding will be awarded on a match-funding basis - 50:50 between the applicant and Foras na Gaeilge. The maximum available under this scheme is €1,500/£1,250. A draft version of the bilingual/ Irish language signage must accompany the application. Applicants must ensure that the translation to Irish on this draft version is accurate.  Funding will be awarded on a receipt basis. Funding will not be paid retrospectively, i.e. for signs already in place.

Applying it to your business:

• Includes new and replacement signage
• Sample signage includes Shop-Front Signs; Signage on Business Vehicles; External Signs, etc
• Ensure that use of English and Irish are on one single sign (as opposed to two separate signs).
• There is no need to translate the business brand name. The aim of this assistance is to enhance your current service/product brand through complementary use of Irish.
• Ensure that all other text of the sign is translated to Irish. This is important in maximizing the effectiveness of bilingualism in making the sign stand out.
• Both text in English and Irish should be the same size. Using different font styles and colours can enhance effectiveness of text.

Deadline for receipt of applications is 5 October 2012.  All signage must be erected by 28 November 2012.
