They are primarily to cover the Gaeltacht language areas. Once again, the current development guidelines that we have speak about boundary areas anyway. To have an integrated approach they would have to take into account other areas as well, but the guidelines are primarily about the areas where the Irish language is spoken, the Gaeltacht areas.

On a general note, this is hugely important. Irish is our first language. For me, it is all about process and getting to something that works and provides consistency.
