Gerry Adams (Louth, Sinn Fein)

I agree with everything the Taoiseach has said. Perhaps the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources will write that down as well. Everything the Taoiseach says, however, highlights how short-sighted it is to end the modern language initiative. Everything he says would act to encourage such initiatives as opposed to ending them. It would be illuminating if the Taoiseach could tell us why this scheme was ended.
