Following the Taoiseach's announcement on 27 June, arrangements are currently being made to transfer the functions of the Islands Division to my colleague in the Department of Rural and Community Development.  There is no distinction between Irish and English speaking islands in this regard. 

I can assure the Deputy that there will be no diminution in the level of service through the medium of Irish to Gaeltacht island communities as a result of this transfer.
