The third meeting of Fóram na Gaeilge is due to take place on 28 April 2005.

As the Deputy is aware, I have already asked members to submit their views in relation to the development of an Irish language plan and related short-term priority issues. There has been a good response to this from the members and officials of my Department are currently examining the various submissions.

The position in relation to publication of the submissions at this time is set out in my previous reply referred to by the Deputy.
