Frank Feighan (Roscommon-South Leitrim, Fine Gael)

Local authorities are effectively required to translate plans, which in my county and other counties can cost between €75,000 and €100,000. That money might be better spent at the coalface in providing Irish courses. In my county I do not believe anybody has ever asked for the plans in Irish. At this time of crisis it is appropriate to consider how that money might be better spent on promoting the Irish language.
