asked the Minister for Finance what progress has been made by the Government Advisory Body on the Irish Language; if it has made recommendations and given advice; if such advice and recommendations were accepted; and if not, why.

I assume the question refers to Comhairle na Gaeilge. This body have done a great deal of useful work. They will shortly publish a scientific study of language in its social setting and a report on the Irish language policy generally. I have already implemented their recommendation for the establishment of a Committee on Language Attitudes Research, and the Dáil Committee on Procedures and Privileges have accepted their recommendation for the provision of a simultaneous translation system. Other recommendations are being implemented or considered by the Ministers or other parties concerned.
