Catherine Connolly: Ní mór dom a rá nach bhfuil mé sásta go bhfuil daoine ag úsáid an Béarla ag an gcoiste Gaeilge. Tá a fhios againn go bhfuil an Ghaeilge fao bhrú ar chuile leibhéal. Anois tá comhchoiste na Gaeilge ag díriú isteach ar Bhéarla arís. Iarraim ar na finnéithe rud amháin eile a shoiléiriú maidir...

Catherine Connolly: Ní thuigim é sin. Is coiste Gaeilge é seo. Mar atá ráite agam, táimid ag caint faoin ról tábhachtach atá ag an Roinn Caiteachais Phoiblí agus Athchóirithe ó thaobh an Ghaeilge a chur chun cinn sna Ranna go léir. Nílim chun é sin a rá arís.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (16 Nov 2017)

Catherine Connolly: I support that request. I do not wish to add to the burden of the committee. I know that RTÉ does not come under the Comptroller and Auditor General's remit. However, we have made a decision, and rightly so, to invite in some big companies like Google. In this situation, it was unfortunately portrayed by a Member as an attack on RTÉ. It certainly is not.
