Minister for Education and Skills (Deputy Ruairí Quinn)

I have no plans to establish a teacher training college run through Irish. The 20 year Strategy for the Irish Language 2010-30 includes a number of actions relating to teacher education which will be progressed by my Department as resources allow.
