Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community
Tithíocht agus Cúrsaí Pleanála Fisiciúla sa Ghaeltacht: Plé
Ms Valerie Loughnane:
We have gone through the language enurement question. One of the other questions was on the social housing element of it. We have exactly the same policy that relates to everybody. The social housing policy also relates to the county development plan. It is the same policy insofar as it relates to anybody who would have qualified for any kind of housing. It is treated exactly the same in our county development plan. There is a certain allocation for social housing in the Gaeltacht and people who qualify for it.
Our Irish officer is currently at staff officer level.
With respect to wind farms, our draft county development plan is at chief executive's report stage. There were a number of queries on wind farms. Signage and anything to do with interpretation would be through Irish for any wind farms permitted in the Gaeltacht areas.
