That was not the question. The question I asked was very specific. An ndearna an chomhairle aon staidéar teangeolaíochta ar an tionchar a bhíonn ag an bpátrún lonnaíochta ar an teanga? Did the council do any objective linguistic study, which would have to be done by a sociolinguist of some type, on the effect settlement patterns have on the Gaeltacht? We know that, by and large, the areas that stayed strong with the language had very dispersed settlements, for whatever reason, while towns like Dingle, Belmullet and so on that had conventional European-type settlements all lost the language. If we start changing that without studying the linguistic impact, we could destroy the thing we are trying to save. Sin an cheist. An bhfuil an staidéar teangeolaíochta seo déanta?
