As the last Údarás na Gaeltachta elections were held on 2nd April 2005, the next elections must, according to the provisions of the existing legislation, be held on a date between 1st April 2009 and 1st October 2010. Due to the ongoing work in relation to the draft 20-year Strategy for Irish and the possible implications for the functions of an tÚdarás, I am not yet in a position to make a decision with regard to a date for the next elections. If necessary, however, I will consider bringing a Bill before the House with a view to extending the term of office of the current members.
