`  == Neo-Gaeltacht vs Network Gaeltacht ==  The definition of Neo-Gaeltacht is problematic and really needs to be sourced, especially as the focus seems to have shifted towards the concept of Gaeltacht gréasáin ('network Gaeltacht'). ``The planned Gaeltacht Bill will also provide for a process to prepare language plans at community level for each Gaeltacht area. New ``network Gaeltacht`` areas will be created, mostly in urban communities outside the Gaeltacht, where there is strong community and state support for Irish.`` http://www.irishexaminer.com/ireland/kfojgbidmhoj/  If we can focus on West Belfast briefly. The Shaws Road community would likely qualify as a Neo-Gaeltacht, as defined in the article. The wider West Belfast community would generally seem to fit into the 'network Gaeltacht' definition above, without delving into the specific areas that encompasses the Gaeltacht Quarter. According to the 2001 census West Belfast has a population of 83921, 19814 of whom (23.6%) have some knowledge of Irish and 9249 of whom (11%) speak, read, write and understand Irish. http://www.nisra.gov.uk/archive/census/2001/standard%20tables/PC/s372_pc_level.xls   `
