Written answers

As I outlined in my response to Question No. 288 of 22 June 2004, progress on the proposed decentralisation of staff of Foras na Gaeilge to Gaoth Dobhair, County Donegal, is subject to and awaits the agreement of the North-South Ministerial Council.

As outlined previously, I met Minister Angela Smith MP on 12 May and we agreed to meet again. Arrangements to this end have yet to be finalised. In the meantime, my Department is in regular contact with the Department of Culture, Arts and Leisure to progress a range of matters of mutual interest.
