Bunaíodh Gael Linn i 1953 agus ta cáil na fiontraíochta air ó shin, go hairithe trí na gnóanna a bhunaigh an comhlacht sa Ghaeltacht. Leanann an comhlacht leis an bhfealsúnacht fiontraíochta a chur chun cinn tríd an réimse leathan d'imeachtaí a dtugann foireann Gael Linn fúthu ó bhliain go bliain. Is í príomhaidhm na heagraíochta ná an Ghaeilge agus a hoidhreacht a chothú agus a chur chun cinn ar fud Éireann I réimsí polasaí agus pobail, mar theanga bheo agus mar spreagadh féiniúlachta. Cuimsíonn gníomhchlár Gael Linn trí príomhréimse; an réimse oideachais, gníomhaíochtaí chun tácú le húsáid na Gaeilge agus réimse gnó na heagraíochta.

Gael Linn was founded in 1953 and has been known since then as an entrepreneurial organisation. The main aim of the organisation is to foster and promote the Irish language and its heritage throughout Ireland as a living language and as an expression of identity at policy and at community level. It is well known for the enterprises it founded in Gaeltacht areas. Gael Linn continues to implement its entrepreneurial philosophy through the broad range of activities and projects which it engages in from year to year. The Gael Linn programme can be divided into three broad categories: education, language promotional schemes and business.
