Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs
Socioeconomic Profile of the Seven Gaeltacht Areas in Ireland: Discussion
Mr. Justin Gleeson:
Useful work could be done to look at the Gaeltacht areas to see the amount of businesses that are on the ground that are being supported by the State. I am not so much talking about companies supported by the údarás or by IDA Ireland but about companies that are in receipt of LEO funding and small and medium enterprises. A lot of that data is out there and it has not really been looked at yet to see what the status is and to look at the difference between Gaeltacht areas and non-Gaeltacht areas.
