Pearse Doherty (SF), Donegal

Ba mhaith liom ceist na ngardaí agus an Ghaeilge a ardú leis an Aire Stáit. Táimid ag iarraidh a chinntiú go bhfuil Gaeilge líofa ag gardaí atá lonnaithe i stáisiúin Gaeltachta. I wish to raise the issue of Irish-speaking gardaí working in Gaeltacht regions. Will the Minister provide an assessment of how much progress has been made regarding the Garda's Irish-language strategy, published in 2022? Is her Department aware that there is a shortage of Irish-speaking gardaí currently working in County Donegal, which has the largest Gaeltacht area in the State?
