Dr. Alex Dowdall:

I might just come in to reiterate what we have said previously. There is no policy document on the Irish language at third level but Irish does feature in policy interventions and other policy documents across our Department. We have outlined on several occasions the funding streams that are in place for apprenticeships and microcredentials, as the areas on which our Department is focused at the moment. Those are spaces that are currently being used to introduce new initiatives around the teaching of the Irish language.
