Adequacy of the Gaeltacht grant

Summary

The Minister said the £10 grant encouraged Irish-speaking and would not be increased, citing other demands on public funds. She noted it had last risen from £5 to £10 in 1964–65.

James White Mr. White Fine Gael

asked the Minister for the Gaeltacht if she has satisfied herself that the £10 deontas for each child in 1980 is adequate to encourage children to speak Irish, and if she will consider increasing this to £100 per child.

Táim sásta go spreagann an deontais £10 daoine chun an Ghaeilge a labhairt agus nil i gceist an deontas a mhéadú faoi láthair.

An bhfuil eolas ag an Aire cathain a raibh an t-ardú is déanai ar an deontas seo agus an bhfuil an tAire sásta le leibhéal an deontais faoi láthair?

Nuair a smaoiníonn mé ar na cúrsaí práinneacha eile a bhfuil airgead as ciste an Stáit le caitheamh orthu, níl mé sásta gur ceart dúinn iarratais a dhéanamh ag an am seo an deontas a ardú fiú amháin go £20. I 1964-65 a deineadh an t-ardú ó £5 go £10.
