Written Answers — Department of An Taoiseach: Company Data (26 Sep 2017)

Priority Questions: An Clár Rialtais (27 Sep 2017)

Joe McHugh: Maidir leis an ngeallúint ar dtús, rinneadh comhoibriú ar an bplean idir Fhianna Fáil agus Fhine Gael. Ag an am sin, nuair a bhí an cómhrá ag dul ar aghaidh, rinneadh gealltanais maidir le méadú a dhéanamh ar an infheistíocht ag dul isteach in Údarás na Gaeltachta, mar shampla.

Priority Questions: Scéimeanna Teanga (27 Sep 2017)

Joe McHugh: An bealach is féaráilte ná bealach ina bheidh achan dream clúdaithe. Tá ceart ag an Teachta maidir leis na pleananna difriúla. Oibríonn na pleananna ón bun aníos agus tá na daoine agus na dreamanna uilig sna ceantair freagrach as na pleananna. Tá sé sin tábhachtach. Níl a fhios agam cad a tharlóidh amach anseo...
