I understand the role Fiachra Ó Céilleachair plays. I also understand the point made by Mr. Ó Cúláin that Ring is a vibrant Gaeltacht. My concern is that the smaller Gaeltachts do not have a permanent board member each. That is not such a good idea. I could never understand the logic of why their membership of the board had been discontinued. The smaller Gaeltachts, in many respects, need permanent representation.
