What resources will be made available? Mr. Mulkerrins mentioned the difficulty of finding people outside of the Gaeltacht areas with a proficiency in Irish who are also SNAs. I refer to the resources available to an SNA who works through the medium of Irish, particularly when compared with a SNA who works through the medium of English. We may say there are limited resources available in English but they are much less as Gaeilge. Will steps be taken to increase the level of resources available to those who work through the medium of Irish?
