Forbairt Naíonraí Teoranta
Forbairt Naíonraí Teoranta (FNT) was a voluntary organisation that worked to encourage the development of Irish language childcare and education services in Ireland. Based in Dublin, and funded by Foras na Gaeilge (FnaG) and the Department of Children and Youth Affairs,[1] the organisation was merged with Gaelscoileanna Teoranta in 2014.
History[edit]
Forbairt Naíonraí Teoranta was founded, in 2003,[1] by Na Naíonraí Gaelacha and Foras na Gaeilge.[2] It was the successor to An Comhchoiste Réamhscolaíochta, which had been set up in 1978.[3] While An Comhchoiste Réamhscolaíochta looked after the country as a whole, FNT covered all areas outside the Gaeltacht,[1] with Comhar Naíonraí na Gaeltachta operating in the Gaeltacht regions.[4]
FNT provided advice, support and training to help establish, develop and run naíonraí (pre-schools), naíolanna (crèches), parent/guardian and toddler groups, after-school services and summer camps. It also assisted in the provision of insurance and grants to naíonraí,[1] and ran Irish-language courses for their staff.[5]
As of 2009, FNT was among a number of organisations which comprised the (then "newly-formed") National Voluntary Childcare Collaborative.[6]
It was reported, in January 2014, that FNT (which had received 1 million Euro in funding from FnaG in 2011).[7] was one of several organisations that would no longer receive state funding.[8] As part of this "major reorganization of Irish language organizations in 2014", FNT was subsumed into the organisation later named Gaeloideachas,[9] and subsequently "deregistered" by the Charities Regulator.[10]

Due to a major reorganization of Irish language organizations in 2014 by Foras na Gaeilge, their funding body, many smaller groups closed or were subsumed into larger organizations. Forbairt Naíonraí Teo. (FNT), for example, was subsumed into Gaelscoileanna, which in turn changed its name to Gaeloideachas to reflect its broader remit
