Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community
Díolúintí i leith Staidéar na Gaeilge sa Mheánscolaíocht: Plé (Atógáil)
Ms Gr?inne O'Rourke:
I thank committee for allowing us the opportunity to attend today. I hope we have made it clear, to reiterate my earlier point, that our issue is with dyslexia and not with the exemption for Irish, though I appreciate that is the focal point of the coiste inniu. We agree broadly with what an tOllamh Pádraig Ó Duibhir has said, that perhaps focusing on the exemption is giving a little bit of a pink card to the Department in respect of dealing with the issues in a more fulsome way.
