Éamon Ó Cuív (Galway West, Fianna Fail)

As the Deputy is aware, the Government, having noted the report of the linguistic study on the use of Irish in the Gaeltacht, decided late last year to establish a Cabinet-level committee to consider matters arising in the context of the analysis and recommendations of the report and to agree an integrated action plan to secure the future of Irish as the community language in the Gaeltacht. The first meeting of the committee is scheduled for later this month. In addition, a series of public meetings has been under way in recent weeks regarding the findings of the report and it is expected that the feedback from those meetings will be made available to assist the committee in its deliberations.
