Minister of State at the Department of the Gaeltacht (Mr. Gallagher)

(1) & (4): Níl aonad traenála foirne ag Roinn na Gaeltachta, is amhlaidh a roinntear seirbhísí Oifigigh Traenála idir an Roinn agus Ranna/Oifigí eile; (2) & (3): Is mar seo a leanas na sonraí i gcás Roinn na Gaeltachta:

An cinéal	Líon na gcúrsaí	An méid lá a mhair an cúrsa	An líon agus an grád a fhreastail
Foireann Cléireachais — Forbairt	2	1	2 Cúntóir Cléireachais
Caidreamh leis an bpobal	1	1	1 Oifigeach Seirbhíseach
Scríobh go héifeachtach	1	1	2 Oifigeach Feidhmiúcháin
Oifigeach Feidhmiúcháin — Forbairt	1	2	2 Oifigeach Feidhmiúchain
Fáilte chuig an Státseirbhís	1	1	1 Cúntóir Cléireachais

(5) 1989 — 2; 1990 — 0; 1991 — 0; (6) Maidir le cúrsaí oiliúna a leanann oifigigh ina gcuid ama féin; (a) níl aisíoc taillí in iomlán á fháil ag aon oifigeach; (b) ceadaíodh aisíoc de 90% de tháillí do 4 oifigeach sa bhliain acadúil reatha i gcomhréir le cinneadh a rinneadh sa Roinn. Táthar den tuairim gur chóir go seasódh oifigigh féin cuid de chostas cúrsaí.
