(1) A "responsible officer" has been appointed in my Department; (2) an "Irish Development Committee" has been established; (3) a number of proposals contained in the action plan for the Department have been or are in the process of being implemented — for example, the preparation of an Irish version of "Summary of the Health Services", the weekly circulation of Anois to interested staff in my Department and the giving of lectures on the use of Irish in the Civil Service for new entrants to my Department. The promotion of Irish in a number of other areas is also being pursued.
