View answerAs I indicated in my reply to Question No. 127 on 9 November 2004, my Department is represented on the new local authority advisory group to encourage and promote the use of Irish in local authorities. My Department made a presentation to the group on the Official Languages Act 2003 and its implications for local authorities at the group's meeting on 7 December 2004. The presentation outlined the provisions of the Act and the current position in relation to its implementation in respect of which there is a separate parliamentary question on today's Order Paper.
