I am sure Ms Loughnane is referencing Barna, Moycullen, Boleybeg, Tonabrocky and those areas which are in high demand. There would not be preferential treatment for Irish speakers in those areas, which are some of the weaker Gaeltacht regions, despite strong community spirit in parts of them in terms of speaking and trying to enhance Irish. However, Irish speakers are not prioritised in those areas. Their Irish-speaking ability and their desire to pass that on and to raise a family trí mheán na Gaeilge would not supersede other issues such as development pressures.
