Question 62: To ask the Minister for Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs when an Irish language newspaper will be available again; if the matter has been brought before the board of Foras na Gaeilge; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [41587/09]

As I outlined in my response to Parliamentary Question No. 122 on 6 October 2009, firstly, funding for the publication of a weekly Irish language newspaper is provided by Foras na Gaeilge and, secondly, a new competition for the provision of such a newspaper was underway. I understand from Foras that the interview assessment process has since been completed and that a recommendation will be presented for the consideration of the Board of Foras na Gaeilge at its meeting on Friday next. As this is a public procurement process, it would be improper for me to involve myself in it or make any further public comment.
