Éamon Ó Cuív (FF), Galway West

Déanaim comhghairdeas leis an Aire as a cheapachán.
What is the Department's policy to ensure that all children nationally have a choice between Irish-language crèches, bilingual crèches and English-language crèches? We know that children absorb languages and the younger they are, the easier they find it to learn two languages or three if they are exposed to those languages.
What is the Department's policy on this issue and on providing that basic service to our people?
