Údarás should retain role of developing Gaeltacht, says report
Under-fire Údarás na Gaeltachta should retain the primary function of developing the economy and infrastructure of the Gaeltacht, a new report issued last night (Wednesday) from the Oireachtas Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Sport, Community, Equality and Gaeltacht Affairs has concluded.
In its report on the 20 Year Strategy for the Irish Language 2010-2030, the committee concludes that Údarás has a critical role to play in the protection and nurturing of the Gaeltacht and says it is essential that a restructured Údarás does not have any reduction in the services it provides there.
