Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community

Curaclam Nua na hArdteistiméireachta (Atógáil): Plé

Mr. Barry Slattery:

We do not have a list but we have heard in discussions that bonus points have been mentioned, as have scholarships and reserving places on courses that require a high level of Irish for students who have completed the T1 specification. Those are three things off the top of my head that I have heard mentioned during discussions. We have not drafted a list, as I have said, but we have looked at identifying what encouragement measures should be put in place.
