Question:

80 Ms B. Moynihan-Cronin asked the Minister for Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs if his attention has been drawn to recent comments from a person (details supplied) in an assessment for TG4 that the board of Údarás na Gaeltachta be cut in half in view of the fact that there is currently an overlap between the work of its executives and its elected board members; if he has plans to review the process by which the development board is appointed and elected; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Written answers

Minister for Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs (Éamon Ó Cuív)

I am aware of the comments to which the Deputy refers and in this connection I draw her attention to Question No. 103 on the 9 November 2004. As I indicated in my response to that question, I propose to engage in public consultation in relation to the functions of Údarás na Gaeltachta. The Deputy will appreciate that it would be inappropriate for me to make any comment until this process is concluded.
