Joe McHugh: One mechanism of measuring the success of the Irish language is through the census. Our five-year action plan will be our measurement of the effectiveness of the resources we are putting into preschools, na naoínraí. We are identifying how to put resources into younger learners and give support systems to parents wishing to raise their children through Irish when they are not...

Joe McHugh: We are constantly evaluating the schemes. Even in the mid-term review today we are looking at where we spend our money. There is a phenomenal budget across a broad spectrum. We are advertising to fill 72 positions for translators and interpreters in Brussels and Strasbourg.

Joe McHugh: Gabhaim buíochas leis an gCathaoirleach. Bhí cúpla moladh agus cúpla ceist aige. Ní aontaím leis maidir leis an Roinn a bheith ag obair i silo. Níl a fhios agam cén Gaeilge atá ar silo, ach níl sin fíor ná ceart. Tá sárobair déanta idir mo Roinn féin, an Roinn Oideachais agus Scileanna agus an Roinn...

Joe McHugh: Bhí na spriocanna ar pháipéar in 2007 ach níor cuireadh an plean seo i bhfeidhm riamh. Ba shin an smaoineamh a bhí ann ag an am sin agus ba am difriúil é fosta. Anois tá muidne-----

Maidir le pleanáil teanga, bhí an Cathaoirleach ag caint fadúda 2012. Tá an ceart aige. Thug an t-iarTeachta Dinny McGinley, mar Aire...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Mid-Year Review of Department of Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht: Discussion (3 Oct 2018)

Joe McHugh: Is slat tomhais é sin. Tá an Roinn ag déanamh comhairliúchán leis na bunscoileanna agus na meánscoileanna agus ag iarraidh breis tacaíochta dóibh. Tá bearna mór i gcúpla ceantar Gaeltachta nach bhfuil múinteoir scoile ar fáil dóibh. Tá an deacracht chéanna i nGaelscoileanna taobh amuigh den Ghaeltacht. Mar...

Nuair a tháinig an polasaí oideachais isteach, bhí measúnú déanta ag an Roinn Oideachais agus Scileanna freisin....

Joe McHugh: I thank the Deputies for raising a broad spectrum of important issues. It proves how multifaceted rural Ireland is. My colleague, the Minister of State, Deputy Griffin, has contacted me about the issue Deputy Danny Healy-Rae mentioned. I wish the individual who is making the application well with the process. It is an independent process and obviously there will be no political influence...
