You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

It is about 70km northwest of [[Dublin|Dublin city]]. 

The Baile Ghib Gaeltacht was founded in 1937 when 52 families were settled on land previously acquired by the [[Irish Land Commission]], followed by a further 9 families in 1939 who settled in Clongill. In all 373 people moved to the area.<ref>((Cite web |title=Meath's Gaeltacht Regions |url=https://www.meath.ie/council/council-services/heritage-architectural-conservation/heritage/cultural-heritage/meaths-gaeltacht-regions |access-date=2023-09-22 |website=Meath County Council |language=en))</ref><ref>((Cite web |date=2019-03-22 |title=‘The Forgotten Gaeltacht’ – Meath’s “colonists” feature in new film |url=https://www.meathchronicle.ie/2019/03/22/the-forgotten-gaeltacht-meaths-colonists-feature-in-new-film/ |access-date=2023-09-22 |website=Meath Chronicle |language=en-US))</ref>

Baile Ghib has since grown into a village with a [[Gaelic Athletic Association|GAA]] club (Bhulf Tón CLG), a [[village hall]], a shop, a [[church (building)|church]], and a [[gaelscoil]] ([[primary school]]).

Today, it and the nearby area of [[Ráth Chairn]] make up the Meath Gaeltacht.

==History==

=== Establishment of the Meath Gaeltacht ===
The Meath Gaeltacht was formed when the [[Irish Land Commission]] redistributed the large estates of absentee landlords and farmers from the Gaeltacht areas of the western seaboard were resettled in Meath in the 1930s. The migrants were from Cork, Kerry, Connemara, Mayo and Donegal. The government's goals were to relieve overcrowding and poverty in the western counties and to spread the Irish language. This "colony" was also a social experiment to redress the 17th-century ethnic cleansing of Ireland by [[Oliver Cromwell]]’s draconian action ‘[[Act for the Settlement of Ireland 1652|To hell or Connaught]]’. However due to the limited size of the Gaeltacht the difficulty of providing a wide range of services through Irish led to bilingualism becoming necessary.<ref>((Cite report |url=https://aran.library.nuigalway.ie/handle/10379/2586 |title=Coimisiún na Gaeltachta Report |date=1925 |publisher=The Stationery Office |language=en))</ref><ref>((Cite web |date=2018-06-17 |title=Colonised: the making of Meath's Gaeltacht |url=https://www.independent.ie/irish-news/colonised-the-making-of-meaths-gaeltacht/37011759.html |access-date=2023-09-22 |website=Independent.ie |language=en))</ref><ref>((Cite book |last=M.

=== Foundation of the Baile Ghib Gaeltacht ===
The Baile Ghib Gaeltacht was founded in 1937, when Irish-speaking families from Mayo, Kerry, Donegal and Cork Gaeltachtaí settled in the area. This diversity is reflected in the local street names, including Donegal Road, and Mayo Road. Baile Ailin (English: Allenstown) was established nearby at the same time as Baile Ghib, but proved less successful, with most of its inhabitants moving away. Each family received a house, 22 acres, [[Livestock|farm animal]]s and [[farm implement]]s in exchange for land and property in their native county. Baile Ghib was eventually given official [[Gaeltacht]] status, along with [[Ráth Chairn]], in 1967.<ref>((Cite web |title=Baile Ghib (Gibbstown) ((!))
