Is d'aonghnó chun go mbeidh cuid mhaith eolais mar atá á lorg ar fáil go rialta do Theachtaí a leagtar tuarascálacha agus cuntais chomhlachtaí reachtúla faoi bhráid na Dála gach bliain. Ní dóigh liom mar sin go bhfuil sé réasúnach a iarraidh orm dul siar fiche bliain chun eolas atá foilsithe a chur le chéile. Leagfar tuarascáil agus cuntais Údarás na Gaeltachta don bhliain 1980 faoi bhráid na Dála i dtráth cuí. Ní fhoilsítear torthaí trádála cuideachtaí in a bhfuil scaireanna ag an Údarás.
Maidir le cúrsaí tógála agus fostaíochta faoi scáth an Údarás sa bhliain 1980 tuigim ón Údarás.
—gur críochnaíodh 15 fhoirgneamh thionsclaíocha (13 réamh-mhonarcha san áireamh) agus 3 leathnúchán sa bhliain agus go raibh réamhmhonarcha amháin nach raibh críochnaithe i ndeireadh na bliana,
—go bhfuil tograí aontaithe do 9 gcinn de na réamh-mhonarchana a críochnaíodh sa bhliain,
—gur mar chabhair chun tionscail a mhealladh go dtí an Ghaeltacht a thógtar réamh-mhonarchana, agus —gur líonadh 698 bpost nua agus gur caileadh 1,117 bpost i rith na bliana.
