Pat Carey (Dublin North West, Fianna Fail)

While I wholeheartedly agree with the Deputy, we need to support those who have chosen to live in the Gaeltacht. Increasingly, both parents will not be native Irish speakers or speak Irish as their first language, if it all. We need to support this group of people. I visited a two teacher school in west Kerry recently and if what I observed there could be replicated elsewhere, the language would be in a great state.
