Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community
Cláir Ghaeilge: RTÉ
Ms Dee Forbes:
I thank the Deputy for her question. As my colleague Niamh said, we are happy to be here and to answer members' questions. We fell short of our commitments as outlined by the report of an Coimisinéir Teanga resulting from his review in 2017. We engaged fully with that process and we are still engaging with him to make strides forward. As Niamh outlined, we significantly increased our commitment to the hours we would broadcast in the Irish language and that is continuing. We are about to engage in our next three-year plan, which we will be presenting to an Coimisinéir Teanga in November and that will contain further development plans as we go forward.
