Amharc ar fhreagra50 Ms McManus asked the Minister for Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs the progress made to date in relation to locating a complement of 30 Foras na Gaeilge staff in Gaoth Dobhair; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [31291/06]
Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 44 and 50 together.
As I indicated in previous replies to Questions in the House, the Board of Foras na Gaeilge has been asked to bring forward firm proposals in relation to the phases of locating a staff complement of 30 in Gaoth Dobhair, as well as the precise sections and functions to be located there. The current position is that a detailed business case in relation to the filling of a number of posts, including posts to be located in Gaoth Dobhair, is being prepared by Foras na Gaeilge and will, I understand, be submitted shortly. Once the business case has been examined and approved by the North-South Ministerial Council, arrangements for the location of Foras staff in Gaoth Dobhair will proceed.
