Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community
Riachtanas Gaeilge do Stiúrthóirí Boird Oideachais agus Oiliúna: Plé
1:30 pm
Mr. David Leahy:
The person is already engaged in one-to-one tuition. She is actually trying to improve her Irish through the summer and will be expected to continue that and to work with the schools come September as part of her job. She will be expected to continue to improve her Gaeilge as she goes. All the other services we have offered prior to this appointment and that we will offer into the future, which have previously been offered to schools, will continue to be offered. We are not taking anything away. For example, I mentioned the timire earlier. The timire we have had for the last 22 bliain will retire, ag éirí as an bpost for the new academic year. We will appoint somebody new to assist in that as well. We have other staff that are líofa freisin. They will be ag obair leis na scoileanna agus mise freisin.
