Dinny McGinley (Donegal South West, Fine Gael)

The Minister referred to a wide range of activities funded by his Department, directly and indirectly. Do Irish language publications come under the remit of his Department? Lá Nua, a daily newspaper with a cross-Border dimension, is in danger of going out of business due to lack of funding. It would be a pity to see a páipéar laethúil Gaeilge ag imeacht uainn. An bhfuil aon rud gur féidir leis an Aire nó Foras na Gaeilge a dhéanamh to ensure the continuation of this particular newspaper that is read in every part of the country, particularly Gaeltacht areas and on both sides of the Border?
