asked the Minister for the Gaeltacht why Gaeltarra Éireann had nothing to do with the Meath Gaeltacht prior to the making of the 1967 Gaeltacht Areas Order; if there was prior to that order any other authority with special responsibility for creating employment in the Meath Gaeltacht; and what other Gaeltacht areas were in a similar position in this regard prior to the making of that order.

Is ar Ghaeltarra Éireann, ó bunaíodh é mar bhord reachtúil sa bhliain 1958, atá freagracht ar leith fostaíocht a chur ar fáil sa Ghaeltacht. Ní bhaineann cumhachtaí agus feidhmeanna Ghaeltarra le ceantar Gaeltachta, áfach, mura sonraítear é in ordú de chuid an Rialtais agus níor sonraíodh Gaeltacht na Mí mar sin go dtí 1967. Is é an t-ordú a bhaineann leis an nGaeltacht sin an t-aon cheann amháin dá shaghas a rinneadh ó 1956 i leith.
