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

Riachtanas Gaeilge do Stiúrthóirí Boird Oideachais agus Oiliúna: Plé

Mr. David Leahy:

Again, I am saying that the person appointed has Gaeilge. That person is not líofa but is intent on working on that. All our leadership will have to improve their Gaeilge. I do not think that is a bad thing. It is an opportunity for us to ensure the leadership team in GRETB improves the standard and quality of their Gaeilge. We probably did not have to do that up until now because there were people on the leadership team who were líofa. We probably relied more on them to do the work all of us should have improved enough to do.
