Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Cur Chuige an Stáit i gCur Chun Cinn Chóras Gaeloideachais: An tAire Oideachais (25 Sep 2024)

Mairead Farrell: Más rud é gurb í an tAire a bheidh ag déanamh sign-off ar an dréacht, impím uirthi cinntiú go mbeidh spriocanna ann. Nuair atá an dréacht feicthe aici, is féidir léi an sign-off a dhéanamh. Beidh mé ag impí uirthi go mbeadh na spriocanna ann mar gheall ar líon na ndaltaí in oideachas lán-Ghaeilge. Tá...

Mairead Farrell: Tá ceist eile agam agus ba mhaith liom a rá díreach faoi na díolúintí freisin. Tuigim gur ardaigh mé é seo leis an Aire cheana nuair a bhí sí os comhair an choiste. Caithfidh mé a rá go n-aontaím leo siúd atá buartha faoi seo. Ní hé sin le rá go bhfuilim ag tabhairt amach nó tada mar sin ach...

Norma Foley: I appreciate what the Deputy is saying. It is interesting to note that the exemptions at primary school level have decreased. This has not been by a huge amount but they have decreased from 3.25% in 2017-2018 to 2.9%. They have increased at post-primary level from 9% to approximately 13%. There are 25% of the general student cohort who have a learning or additional need, and 60% of those...

Mairead Farrell: Bheadh siad sin suimiúil a fháil amach. Is í an cheist eile atá agam ná faoi shonraíocht T1 sa teastas sóisearach. An féidir leis an Aire beagáinín eolais a thabhairt dúinn air sin, cá bhfuilimid, an t-aiseolas agus mar sin de, ag an bpointe seo, más féidir?

Norma Foley: As the Deputy will be aware, a review of that is ongoing and will be completed in 2026. That will give us a better insight into what is being achieved currently in comparison with what was there previously. Even with things like oral Irish, when there was an option for that to be provided as part of the junior cycle, 40% of schools availed of that, whereas with the new class-based...

Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Cur Chuige an Stáit i gCur Chun Cinn Chóras Gaeloideachais: An tAire Oideachais (25 Sep 2024)

Mairead Farrell: I dtaobh an scrúdaithe béil a luaigh an tAire, tuigim nach bhfuil an scrúdú béil luaite ansin sa chreat, nó an bhfuilim mícheart faoi sin? Táimid ag dul ar ais go dtí an creatpholasaí don Ghaeilge taobh amuigh den Ghaeltacht.

Norma Foley: We are prepared to look at every opportunity. For example, we have satellite schools and supports operating where there are existing schools in place but they cannot get the support of additional teachers so we do that by satellite. Specifically, I understand the Deputy is asking around lowering the numbers if there are, for example, only six students on an island.
