I am not suggesting that that funding stream be changed. I suggest that a separate funding stream be added for Irish language organisations through the Department of Culture, Heritage the Gaeltacht.

Otherwise, we are just saying they must lump for the coming years something that has nothing to do with them, over which they have no influence and on which Brexit is probably the main influence currently until we get the North-South Ministerial Council up and running. The Government can provide another source of funding to these organisations.
