An aithníonn tú an tábhacht a bhaineann le Raidió na Gaeltachta do shaol agus do chultúr na Gaeltachta agus an mbeidh béim aige ar Raidió na Gaeltachta amach anseo? Does Mr. O’Rourke acknowledge the importance of Raidió na Gaeltachta on the life and culture of the Gaeltacht and will there be an emphasis by him on Raidió na Gaeltachta into the future? In particular, will it be adequately staffed in all of the stations throughout the Gaeltacht. I know there were numerous retirements in recent years where people were not replaced. There is a feeling within Gaeltacht communities that their local stations are under-resourced although they provide an enormously important service for their communities. Does Mr. O’Rourke acknowledge that? Is this going to be one of his priority areas?
