Maidir le tuarascáil agus cuntais Údarás na Gaeltachta don bhliain 1982 is é a dúirt mé ar an 8 Meitheamh seo caite ná go raibh súil agam go bhfoilseofaí iad i mí Iúil agus is oth liom nár baineadh an sprioc sin amach. Tuigim, áfach, go bhfuil na cuntais sínithe ag an Ard-Reachtaire Cuntas agus Ciste agus nach fada eile go mbeidh cóipeanna clóbhuailte ar fáil.

Togfaidh mé ceist a 280 agus ceist a 281 le chéile. Is mar seo a leanas atá alt 20 den Acht um Údarás na Gaeltachta, 1979:
—Tabharfaidh an tÚdarás don Aire aon eolas a iarrfaidh an tAire ó am go ham maidir le comhlíonadh feidhmeanna an Údaráis.
Níl aon fhoráil san Acht faoina bhféadfadh an tÚdarás diúltú d'iarratas mar sin ón Aire.

asked the Minister for the Gaeltacht (a) the number of wholly owned subsidiary companies of Údarás na Gaeltachta now in liquidation and the number of official liquidators who have been appointed since 1 January 1980; (b) the number of companies who have ceased to trade since 1 January 1980 and who have not as of this date, appointed official liquidators; and (c) the names of all subsidiary companies who have presented audited accounts to the Údarás for the years ended 31 December 1978, 1979, 1980, 1981 and 1982.

Is eol dom go mbíonn gnó ar siúl ag fochuideachtaí de chuid Údarás na Gaeltachta taobh amuigh den Stát agus glacaim leis go n-oireann sé dóibh cuntais bhainc a bheith acu sna háiteanna ina mbíonn siad ag feidhmiú.
284.
asked the Minister for the Gaeltacht if he will state the evidence, by way of audited accounts, that is available to him in regard to the recent announcement by Údarás na Gaeltachta that some 15 subsidiary companies, wholly owned by the Údarás, made profits in the first six months trading in 1983.
Tuigim ó Údarás na Gaeltachta gurb iad torthaí trádála na bhfochuideachtaí de réir na ngnáthchuntas bainistíochta don chéad leath den bhliain 1983 a bhí i gceist agus gur léiríodh brabach beag nuair a cuireadh na torthaí sin uile san áireamh i dteannta a chéile.

Faoi alt 23(2)(c) den Acht um Údarás na Gaeltachta, 1979, is amhlaidh nach mbeidh aon airleacan a tugadh do Ghaeltarra Éireann tar éis an 1 Aibreán 1965 ná a tugadh nó a thabharfar d'Údarás na Gaeltachta inaisíoctha go dtí cibé dáta a chinnfidh an tAire Airgeadais tar éis comhairle a ghlacadh liomsa. Níl i gceist agam an scéal a bhreithniú go dtí go dtiocfaidh an tAire Airgeadais i gcomhairle liom.

asked the Minister for the Gaeltacht if he intends to lift the directive issued to Údarás na Gaeltachta and Údarás companies not to pay any moneys above the level of statutory entitlements to redundant employees as the directive has given rise to serious problems in industrial relations in Údarás companies; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
Is chun feidhm a thabhairt do chinneadh de chuid an Rialtais a tugadh treoir d'Údarás na Gaeltachta maidir le costas a thitfeadh ar an Stát agus tá beartaithe agam a iarraidh ar an Rialtas Athbhreithniú a dhéanamh ar an gcinneadh sin.
