As I have already indicated on the record of the House, these regulations have been published and laid before each House of the Oireachtas in draft form. This is in order to give Deputies and Senators the opportunity to debate the draft regulations and to make suggestions for amendments, if they so wish, before I sign them.

I look forward to debating the draft regulations in the Dáil and Seanad in the near future and to hearing suggestions and comments from Deputies and Senators as to how they might be improved.

Glacaim leis gurb é atá i gceist ag an Teachta ná scéimeanna teanga atá le hullmhú — ar iarratas uaimse, mar Aire — ag comhlachtaí poiblí, údaráis áitiúla san áireamh, faoi fhorálacha Acht na dTeangacha Oifigiúla 2003.

Tá 36 scéim teanga daingnithe agam go dáta le comhlachtaí poiblí agus foilsithe de réir fhorálacha an Achta. I measc na scéimeanna teanga seo, tá 8 scéim atá aontaithe le húdaráis áitiúla. Ní mór dom a chur in iúl don Teachta go gclúdaíonn na scéimeanna teanga atá daingnithe leis na húdaráis áitiúla na comhairlí baile, srl, atá i limistéir fheidhme na n-údarás sin agus go bhfuil i gceist leanúint leis an nós imeachta seo.

Tá na scéimeanna uile atá aontaithe go dáta, chomh maith le liosta de na comhlachtaí a bhfuil mo Roinnse ag plé leo maidir le scéim teanga a aontú, ar fáil ar shuíomh greasáin an Choimisinéir Teanga, www.coimisineir.ie.

Is gnó é seo a bhaineann leis an údarás áitiúil féin agus níl aon fhreagracht ormsa mar Aire i ndáil leis.
