Cárta na Gaeltachta
Cárta na Gaeltachta is a dedicated gift card developed by Údarás na Gaeltachta to support businesses across the Gaeltacht and encourage spending within local communities. Accepted by participating businesses in the Gaeltacht regions of Donegal, Mayo, Galway, Kerry, Cork, Meath and Waterford, the card helps keep spending within the local economy while providing a convenient gifting option for individuals and organisations.
