Dr. Fergal Lynch:

If my answer was unclear I certainly did not mean to give the impression that I am de-emphasising one in favour of the other. What I was trying to say was that we place an emphasis on both. On assisting the provision of services in and through Irish, we are absolutely committed to that and specifically to the five year action plan and to the 20 year strategy that the Deputy referred to.

We have tried to be very practical in our supports through to the most basic things of communications like press releases, websites, posters and so on.
