British-Irish Agreement (Amendment) Bill, 2002: Second Stage.

 

An Foras Teanga, the Language Body, comprises Irish Language Agency, Foras na Gaeilge and the Ulster Scots Agency. Foras na Gaeilge took over the functions of Bord na Gaeilge in promoting the Irish language with the key difference, of course, that Foras na Gaeilge operates throughout the island of Ireland. Headquartered in Dublin, foras opened a regional office in Belfast earlier this year. The Ulster Scots Agency recently launched, both in Belfast and Dublin, a series of informative leaflets on the Ulster Scots heritage in America. It has also hosted a conference of Ulster Scots organisations in County Antrim.
