Ciarán Lynch: ...of State addresses the committee, may I ask him a question? Conradh na Gaeilge wrote to the committee secretariat, which then wrote to Foras na Gaeilge, about the fact that there is no national Irish-language newspaper. This is a matter of concern. Is the Minister of State concerned about it and will he be raising it with Foras na Gaeilge?

Rónán Mullen: ...in the 2016 census was shocking and disappointing. No doubt Senator Ó Clochartaigh, who knows much more than I do about this and who is very directly concerned with these matters, will back me up on what I am saying. One of the specific objectives of the 20-year strategy for the Irish language was to increase the number of people in the Gaeltacht speaking Irish on a daily basis by...

Éamon Ó Cuív: Statutory responsibility for promotion of the Irish language, including matters such as the development of terminology and dictionaries, rests with Foras na Gaeilge. Earlier this year, I requested the Foras to carry out a review of An Caighdeán Oifigiúil/the Official Standard for Irish.

Questions on Proposed Legislation (19 Oct 2016)

Mattie McGrath: Tá ceist agam don Taoiseach nó don Aire, an Teachta Humphreys. In the budget, funding for the Irish language, the arts and such issues was cut drastically. According to Conradh na Gaeilge, the budgets of Foras na Gaeilge and Údarás na Gaeltachta have been cut by 50% since 2008. Seachtain na Gaeilge has no funding to run its operational programme for 2017 and is rud...

Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Foilsitheoireacht agus Léitheoireacht na Gaeilge: Plé (Atógáil) (27 Apr 2022)

...with the Chairman on that afterwards. The reason we presented it this way is that it would be done crudely. Some of these organisations, like Feasta, Futa Fata or Comhar, are exclusively for the Irish language or for Imram, the Irish-language literature festival. Then there are organisations we fund, like Poetry Ireland, that are national and all-island organisations that are working...

Cyprian Brady: ...sáid, or to use it as much I would wish. However, unlike the previous speaker, I was privileged and lucky to have attended a Christian Brothers' school which was immersed in the Irish culture and Irish language. I was also lucky in the individuals I met during those years. Like the Minister, who was immersed in the Irish culture, as a result of meeting those people I spent a number of...

Joint Standing Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Islands: Seirbhísí trí Ghaeilge (Atógáil): An Roinn Talmhaíochta, Bia agus Mara (26 Mar 2019)

Mr. Guy Mahon: I agree with what the Deputy is saying about Gaeltacht areas and the Department agrees. What we are giving priority to at present is being able to provide Irish language services in Gaeltacht areas. That is our pragmatic approach. As I was saying earlier, we have two offices in Gaeltacht areas. We have one office in Daingean Uí Chúis and one office in Ros an...

Éamon Ó Cuív: ...between the funding we provide and the funding in Northern Ireland. It did not allow them to expand the programmes as I would have liked. We need the coalface programmes, whether RAPID, CLÁR or Irish language, that get to the people who need the services.

Brian O'Shea: The answer is more or less as I feared. It is almost a year since the statement on the Irish language and there is still no absolute guarantee that the consultants will be appointed before the end of the year.
