Question 54: To ask the Minister for Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs if, in regard to his statement of informed opinion in the Dáil on 22 February 2005, he plans to introduce mechanisms to encourage persons from other countries who come to live here to learn Irish; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

There is already a wide range of options available to people who wish to learn Irish at all levels. These options are available to all, irrespective of whether a person is originally from this country or not. Accordingly, I do not consider that there is a need at present for any additional measures in this regard.
