A chara,

Tugaim cuireadh duit/do d’eagraíocht páirt a ghlacadh i gcomhairliúchán atá á reáchtáil ag an Roinn Turasóireachta, Cultúir, Ealaíon, Gaeltachta, Spóirt agus Meán, thar ceann an Choiste Chomhairligh ar Scéalta na mBan.

Cheap an tAire Catherine Martin T.D. an Coiste Comhairleach seo ar an 07 Márta chun scrúdú a dhéanamh ar an gcaoi a gcuirtear saol agus taithí na mban, ina n-éagsúlacht uile, i láthair agus a léirítear iad laistigh de mhúsaeim, gailearaithe, leabharlanna, cartlanna, agus amharclanna (sna forais náisiúnta cultúir agus sna bailiúcháin náisiúnta, chomh maith le spásanna cultúrtha pobail náisiúnta agus áitiúla eile). Déanfaidh an coiste moltaí chun cabhrú leis an Rialtas an léiriú ar eispéiris, saothair agus scéalta éagsúla ban a fheabhsú agus a leathnú. Mar chuid dá gcuid oibre, breithneoidh an Coiste Comhairleach freisin féidearthacht roghanna le haghaidh chur i láthair tiomnaithe ar scéalta na mban agus/nó músaem ban.

Táimid ag lorg tuairimí na bpríomhpháirtithe leasmhara, lena n-áirítear grúpaí gairmiúla, abhcóideachta, ionadaíocha agus pobail éagsúla, chomh maith le páirtithe leasmhara eile ar bhonn uile-oileáin agus go hidirnáisiúnta. Cabhróidh do dhearcthaí agus do smaointe leis an gCoiste Comhairleach agus iad ag breathnú ar na moltaí a dhéanfaidh siad.

Is féidir an suirbhé a chomhlánú anseo, i mBéarla nó i nGaeilge (gov.ie/ScéaltanamBan). Tá 3 cheist le freagairt.

Is féidir leat freisin d’aighneacht a dhéanamh trí Theanga Chomharthaíochta na hÉireann nó i bhformáidí closamhairc réamhthaifeadta, nó i bhformáidí eile. Má tá aon cheist agat faoi aighneacht a dhéanamh, déan teagmháil linn ag womensstories@tcagsm.gov.ie.

Fáiltímid roimh aighneachtaí chomh luath agus is áisiúil duit. Dúnfar an suirbhé ar Dé hAoine, an 30 Lúnasa, agus tá seans ann nach mbeifear in ann glacadh le do fhreagra tar éis an dáta seo.

Go raibh maith agat as am a thógáil chun páirt a ghlacadh - is mór againn d’ionchur.

Le dea-mhéin,

Sinéad Copeland

A chara,

I would like to invite you/your organisation, to take part in a consultation run by the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media, on behalf of the Advisory Committee on Women’s Stories.

Minister Catherine Martin T.D. appointed this Advisory Committee on 07 March to examine how women’s lives and experiences, in all of their diversity, are presented and recorded within museums, galleries, libraries, archives, and theatres (in the national cultural institutions and national collections, as well as other national and local community cultural spaces). The committee will make recommendations to help the Government enhance and expand the representation of women’s diverse experiences, contributions, and stories. As part of its work, the Advisory Committee will also consider the feasibility of options for a dedicated presentation of women’s stories and/or a women’s museum.

We are seeking the views of stakeholders, including professional, advocacy, representative, and community groups, as well as other interested parties and individuals on an all-island basis and internationally. Your perspectives and ideas will help the Advisory Committee in considering the recommendations that they will make.

You can complete the survey here, in English or in Irish (gov.ie/womensstories). There are 3 questions to be completed.

You can also make your submission through Irish Sign Language or pre-recorded audio-visual formats, or other formats. If you have any queries about making a submission, please contact us at womensstories@tcagsm.gov.ie.

We welcome submissions at your earliest convenience. The survey will close on Friday, 30 August, and it may not be possible to accept your contribution after this date.

Thank you very much for taking the time to participate - your input is really appreciated.

Kind regards,

Sinéad Copeland
