Dinny McGinley (Donegal South West, Fine Gael)

Will the Minister agree that one of the objectives which Foras na Gaeilge has dismally failed to achieve in recent years is the transfer of jobs in the organisation to the Gaeltacht, specifically to my own area of Gaoth Dobhair, which was promised when the now discredited decentralisation scheme was announced in this House six or seven years ago and should have been a fait accompli by now? To be honest and to be fair to Foras na Gaeilge, that is more the fault of the Government than the fault of the foras. Does the Minister have any idea of the Government's aims in this regard? Is it still its objective to transfer some of these jobs to Gaoth Dobhair, as promised by the former Minister for Finance, Charlie McCreevy? Is it just another in a long line of broken promises from the other side of House over recent years?
