Brian Hayes (Dublin South West, Fine Gael)

It certainly looks like it. This story was broken by TG4 three weeks ago. Since then there has been much toing and froing and a court case has started. The Minister is now telling the Dáil she will put this on a legal basis. When will she do that?

Is the Minister concerned that some of the circulars following the revised curriculum in place since 1999 could now be legally defective? If this issue is applicable to Irish language immersion in gaelscoileanna, it must be applicable to other circulars which the Minister has failed to sign into law during her tenure.
