Dr. Fergal Lynch:

I can certainly come back to the Deputy with the details from Tusla inspections.

On the strategy that was launched yesterday, there are two critical actions in it that deal specifically with Irish. The first is to introduce measures to ensure that children in Gaeltacht areas have access to Irish medium early learning and care provision. That is being led by the Department of Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht. The second is to develop mechanisms to provide Irish language supports in this area where there are high proportions of children who are learning through the medium of Irish. The strategy itself was made available in Irish. There is a commitment within the strategy for an implementation plan within six months. All of the actions in the strategy, including these two, will be specified in terms of how we hope to achieve that. I mentioned earlier the five-year action plan, and my colleague, Mr. Fay, is part of the monitoring committee and is taking a considerable interest in that. That committee plus the work being done under this new strategy will be important in delivering those actions. We are anxious to do whatever we possibly can to help children in Gaeltacht and non-Gaeltacht areas who are using Irish to be able to have their service provided to them through Irish to enable them to speak Irish in that context.
