I am in regular contact with the Minister for Education and Science with regard to various matters involving the Irish language in the Gaeltacht, which are relevant to both our Departments. As part of its Gaeltacht remit, my Department provides a range of support measures for the Irish language in the Gaeltacht, some of which are delivered through the education system. However, as the Deputy will be aware, the provision of education in the Gaeltacht is a matter for the Minister for Education and Science.
