Ulick Burke: Ba mhaith liom i dtosach fáilte a chur leis an Aire agus tá áthas orm cúpla focail a rá ins an dÃospóireacht seo. Is é mo thuairim go bhfuil an-buÃochas le ghlacadh ag na gaelscoileanna ar fud na tÃre mar gheall ar labhairt na Gaeilge. 'Sé mo thuarim, freisin, go bhfuil an ré sin an bealach amach is tábhachtach chun an Gaeilge a chur le fáil go flúirseach. Ba mhaith liom mo...
- Irish Language: Statements (8 Nov 2007)
Ulick Burke: They are playing hurling. I do not know whether there is an association between the two. Why do we spend eight years at national school and another five or six at second level and leave practically illiterate in Irish? There is a reason. Fine Gael made a proposal on the Irish language before the election and it was castigated by the Minister and many others, particularly the Minister for...
- Irish Language: Statements (8 Nov 2007)
Ulick Burke: Fair enough, that is the problem. When Deputy Kenny, as leader of Fine Gael, made a very solid proposal for Irish in the future, it was ridiculed in the very same fashion noted by the Minister in respect of what Deputy Deasy said in the House. Initially, I thought it was a bad idea but I am firmly convinced that it is an important move. One balances that against the fact that our Irish...

Based on what the Minister has stated we are indulging in a further examination of south Galway...
- School Accommodation. (13 Nov 2007)

They have shown they are committed to allowing for the replacement of Seamount college. The Minister has made her commitment subject to the intake for five years. Why cannot the Minister give a commitment and show a...
