The Department of Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht has passed five Acts since 2011. Does the Minister believe this legislation is operating as intended? What oversight of this legislation is in place? Some of these Acts are technical in nature, but others have considerable scope. For instance, Acht na Gaeltachta 2012 provides for statutory language planning process to support the Irish language and provide for amendments to the board and function of Údarás na Gaeltachta or the Heritage Act. I do not wish to retread the arguments or discussions which took place during the legislation but to ascertain and identify the current mechanisms within the Department for legislative review once a Bill has passed through the Houses. Why has none been conducted?
