This scheme supports small and medium-sized enterprises to promote Irish in their businesses through signage, packaging, websites and printed marketing material. Eligible businesses will be entitled to seek up to 50% of the total cost through this scheme.

For a taste of other businesses that use Irish as a marketing tool, look at the samples that are on X (Twitter) and YouTube.

The budget for this scheme is limited. Applications will be accepted and assessed until the fund is spent.

This scheme enables businesses to incorporate Irish language and / or bilingualism into their branding. Please note, match-funding towards individal changes in the company’s business / corporate branding is offered on a one-time basis and repeat applications for the same works previously funded will not be eligible.
