Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform (Mr. McDowell)

The Minister for Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs has not, to date, required my Department to prepare a draft scheme under section 11 of the Official Languages Act 2003. Consequently, the information sought by the Deputy on costs associated with the preparation of such a draft scheme does not exist.
