Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 20 May 2004
226 Mr. J. Bruton asked the Minister for Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs the decentralisation implementation plan for his Department or agencies; the costs associated with it; and if any alteration will be needed to the multi-year financial projections for his Department or agencies. [15002/04]
View answerThe Flynn group requested plans. At present my Department and Area Development Management Limited are preparing them. It is hoped to submit them to group later this month. Costs and other financial implications have yet to be determined. To date no changes have been made to the multi-annual projections for my Department or ADM Limited.
Preparation of an implementation plan for Foras na Gaeilge is subject to and awaits the agreement of the North-South Ministerial Council to the proposed decentralisation. Discussions between my Department, its northern counterpart and Foras na Gaeilge are continuing.
