The reason I raised the question is that a number of institutions are doing very good work, for example, DCU and Fiontar, and a number of the teacher training colleges but there does not seem to be an overall strategy. The approach seems quite piecemeal and I wonder in the context of a broader strategy on education whether it is something that could be considered because it would draw all of those very positive elements together. The staffing of the institutions is an issue as well in terms of having academic staff who can teach through the medium of Irish.
