Written answers

Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport

My Department is in the process of introducing a new Irish Language Scheme under the Official Languages Act 2003.  The draft scheme when published will set out the measures being taken to promote the use of the Irish language in my Department.

I expect that this scheme will be published in the coming weeks.
