Having regard to its statutory remit and to its approved business and corporate plans, I regard an involvement by Foras na Gaeilge in providing advice and assistance to Irish speakers abroad and in supporting cultural activities which promote the Irish language abroad as forming an appropriate part of its overall activities. My Department also funds, albeit in a minor way, certain Irish language activities abroad and it is clearly important to ensure that all our activities in that regard do not result in any funding overlaps.
