I will take on board what Deputy Ó Snodaigh said on the Official Languages Act and the lack of urgency around some of its implementation. I am a big fan of the Gaelscoil and Gaelcholáiste movement and am glad we now have a Gaelcholáiste in my constituency and two Gaelscoileanna, one of which we are expanding. We should set the objective of saying that anybody who wants a place in a Gaelscoil or Gaelcholáiste should get one. I am not sure how far we are away from that. The Deputy might let me know later what the gap is. If Irish is our first official language, the least we should be able to do is say to children who want to be educated therein that they can be.
