Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community
Seirbhísí Poiblí Dátheangacha: Seirbhís Thithe an Oireachtais
Mr. Peter Finnegan:
That is a very interesting question. One of the objectives of our straitéis na Gaeilge, ceann de na cuspóirí, is for Gaeilge sa Teach, that is to promote Irish in the House. To achieve that, we have set up two committees or working groups to support the greater use of Irish in the Dáil and in the Seanad. I would love us to have a 5% target and, more importantly, to achieve that target in both Houses. We will be doing everything we can to support the achievement of that objective and we will work with the two working groups in each House to try to put in place whatever measures are needed to facilitate the achievement of that objective.
