Infrastructure Minister Liz Kimmins has met Foras na Gaeilge and reiterated her determination to see Irish language given its place across the public services she is responsible for.
Minister Kimmins said:
"I don't believe anyone has anything to fear from the Irish language. It is part of our history and heritage. We see it all around us in our place-names and there are many areas of the north where it is spoken in families, communities, schools and work-places.
"It is for these reasons and in order that we fulfil our commitments laid out in the European Charter of Minority Languages and my Department's Irish Language Policy that I am determined to see Irish language given its place across the public services I am responsible for."
