each country and region."</li> <li>"to develop new relationships between communities and speakers of Irish and Scottish Gaelic and enhance the links already existing."</li> <li>"to facilitate practical and sustainable co-operation between communities, networks and speakers of Irish and Scottish Gaelic in the arts, and in social and cultural matters."</li> <li>"to encourage debate on common

cultural identity of both Ireland and Scotland."</li> <li>"to foster understanding of the diverse experience and culture of the Irish and Scottish Gaelic communities."</li> <li>"to promote and
