Gabhaim buíochas leis an Chéad-Aire as a freagraí go dtí seo.
The Minister will be aware that there is a thriving Irish language community in my constituency of West Belfast. We have the Gaeltacht Quarter, and many children are educated in Irish-medium schools. Does the First Minister believe that the appointment of the Irish Language Commissioner will be extremely important in improving the visibility and use of an Ghaeilge
among public authorities?
