Terence Flanagan (Dublin North East, Independent) | Oireachtas source

Will the Minister provide an update on the lifting of the derogation on Irish? It is not being used as an official or working language of the European Union at present. That is a shame. There is an opportunity to create 180 jobs and it is something the Government should be actively pursuing. Will the Minister indicate who will make the decision regarding the lifting of the derogation and when that decision will be made?
