asked the Minister for the Gaeltacht if he will indicate the reasons why the Ballycroy area, County Mayo is not included in the Gaeltacht; and if, in view of the fact that it is a traditionally Irish-speaking area, he will take the necessary steps to have it included in the Gaeltacht.

Mr. Browne
Níor cuireadh an ceantar atá luaite ag an Teachta sa Ghaeltacht mar a sonraíodh í in Ordú na Limistéirí Gaeltachta, 1956, de bhrí nár léir ag an am go raibh oiread Gaeilgeoirí ann a shásódh riachtanaisí ailt 2 den Acht Airí agus Rúnaithe (Leasú) 1956.
Níl i gceist agam aon athrú a dhéanamh ar na Limistéirí Gaeltachta go dtí go mbeidh breith tughta ag an Rialtas ar a bhfuil molta ina thaobh sin ag an gCoimisiún um Athbheochan na Gaeilge. Má cinntear na Limistéirí Gaeltachta a athbhreithniú, déanfar cás an cheantair seo a mheas.
