Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community
Cláir Ghaeilge: RTÉ
Ms Dee Forbes:
That is something which we are evaluating at present. The way the obligations are set out in the Broadcasting Act is that the wording is a comprehensive amount of programming in the Irish language. That is what we have to come to, working with the Coimisinéir Teanga and the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland on that. This has been the first time in the Coimisinéir Teanga’s report that we have looked at the detail in this detail. As we mentioned earlier, our three-year plan is under way at present. That will go to the Coimisinéir Teanga in November. We have to work together to come to a place as to what is the right number because there is no magic number. I appreciate we have to do more and we want to do more, but how do we it? That is what we are working on.
