Gaeltacht Policy
Seanad Éireann — 2025-03-04
============================================================

Nicole Ryan (SF), Administrative Panel

I thank the Minister of State for his reply. I am really delighted he is including the likes of Údarás na Gaeltachta in the plan. Will the language testing mentioned make it more difficult for people who want to live in or move to a Gaeltacht area or who have lived there and who may not have the best of Irish to access it? As we all know, there is a housing crisis. If people have another layer of red tape to deal with in order to be able to live in a Gaeltacht area, will that make things even harder for them?
