I understand that the Deputy's Question relates in fact to Parliamentary Question No. 2 of 5 October 2006.

I must emphasise that, as Minister, I have no function in regard to the day-to-day administration of Údarás na Gaeltachta, including matters relating to internal appointments. However, in light of questions put to me by Deputy Brian O'Shea in this House on 5 October 2006, I asked officials of my Department to seek clarification from Údarás na Gaeltachta in regard to the issues involved.

A copy of the formal response from Údarás na Gaeltachta has been forwarded to Deputy O'Shea.
