PEIG.ie Business Directory

Eolaire Gnó PEIG.ie is a new web directory for Irish language services, now available as part of the website PEIG.ie. This new marketing service is developed by Conradh na Gaeilge and is funded by Foras na Gaeilge. Registering your business is completely free, could help widen your customer base and offers you a unique selling point. General information about all registered companies is advertised and made available to the public, i.e., contact details, opening hours and type of business. The aim of this directory is to spread information about Irish language services and to increase demand. We hope this new directory will act as a central source of information for Irish language services around the country.

Ten reasons to use the Irish language in your business:

1. Lots of Irish people are proud to be able to use their native language.

2. There is a demand for services through Irish as a result. This is one of the main reasons this directory is being developed.

3. The Irish language creates a common link between customer and company.
