Pat Carey (Dublin North West, Fianna Fail)

I propose to take Questions Nos. 9, 16, 17, 38 and 148 together.

As I informed the House earlier in response to today's Priority Question No. 4, the Government decided to establish a Cabinet-level committee to consider matters arising in the context of the analysis and recommendations of the report on the linguistic study of the use of Irish in the Gaeltacht. The first meeting of the committee is scheduled to take place on 10 April 2008. Accordingly, no decisions have been taken at this point with regard to the Gaeltacht boundaries or electoral areas.
