Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 18 February 2010
37 Deputy Jan O’Sullivan asked the Minister for Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs the way it is intended that the board of Udarás na Gaeltachta or Udarás na Gaeilge will be appointed or elected following the promised legislation; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [8364/10]
Amharc ar fhreagraAny changes regarding the powers and functions of Údarás na Gaeltachta or its Board structure will fall to be considered at the appropriate time in the context of the 20-year Strategy for Irish. As the recently published draft Strategy remains under consideration by the Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Sports, Tourism, Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs, it would be premature of me, at this stage, to predict either the type of governance structure that will be put in place to oversee the operations of the organisation or the method of selection of members to same.
