Conor D. McGuinness (SF), Waterford

Sular toghadh mé anseo go dtí Dáil Éireann, bhí onóir orm a bheith mar chomhalta boird ar Fhoras na Gaeilge. Prior to my election to this House, I was vice-chairperson of the board of Foras na Gaeilge so I share the concerns raised by Deputy Moynihan regarding the crisis of funding that is threatening €800,000 of cuts to community language projects all across this island. During my time as vice-chair of Foras na Gaeilge, I had occasion to meet and engage with the Tánaiste's predecessor, the current Taoiseach when he was Minister for Foreign Affairs, alongside board members and chief executives of the various all-Ireland bodies set up under the Good Friday Agreement. As a supplementary to Deputy Moynihan's question, will the Tánaiste continue that engagement? It was a very worthwhile one. I raise the Foras na Gaeilge ceist-----
