As I indicated in my response to Questions No. 567, 568 and 569 on 8 July 2008, I understand that Conradh na Gaeilge has placed its current headquarters on Harcourt Street on the market with a view to moving to a larger premises in a central location, which will incorporate modern social facilities and amenities for Irish speakers.

My Department is in contact with Conradh na Gaeilge in regard to progression of this proposal in general terms and in regard to the feasibility of providing financial support for such a project. However, as the proposal is still in the early phase of development, no commitments have been entered into by my Department at this stage.
