Oideachas trí Ghaeilge

Shane Moynihan (FF), Dublin Mid-West

Molaim go mór na hiarrachtaí sin. We need to go a little further with the upcoming draft strategy on FET, that should have - and I hope it will - an explicit mention of the provision of courses that are not on the Irish language but are taught through the medium of Irish. Ba mhaith liom rud eile a chur in iúl don Aire agus na ETBs ar fud na tíre ná go bhfuil an-chuid Gaelcholáistí againn ar féidir a úsáid don oideachas do dhaoine fásta agus don oideachas pobail. Community colleges provide a broad range of adult and community education courses. There is no reason Gaelcoláistí could not be asked to do the same and provide the same sort of model. That is something I would encourage. Tá an t-éileamh ann don Ghaeilge. Tá daoine ann atá ag iarraidh cur lena gcuid stór focal agus lena gcuid Gaeilge. Tá múinteoirí ann ar fud na ETBs ar fad atá in ann an teagasc seo a dhéanamh. Caithfimid an mhuinín a thabhairt dóibh é sin a dhéanamh as Gaeilge. Táim ag súil go ndéanfaidh an tAire obair leis na ETBs chun é sin a bhaint amach.
