My suggestion, and I hope it is taken on board, is that a coiste na Gaeilge is set up within the Department of Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht to look at the sections that have suffered due to the inertia of the North-South Ministerial Council and to see how worthy Irish language organisations, which would have been funded by Foras na Gaeilge, can be funded in another fashion. The danger is that the whole sector gets stuck while the stasis in the North continues.
