If the services have been taken from a post office in a Gaeltacht area, the services will be provided for...

The message came quite clearly from the Houses of the Oireachtas through the committee and from politicians that Bliain na Gaeilge was not a Government-owned initiative but was very much about trying to build on the enthusiasm that exists, whether it is inside or outside the Gaeltacht.
