REPLY:

The following report went to the March 2021 OP&F meeting -

Following agreement at the January Council meeting for the formation of Coiste na Gaeilge to operate as a sub-committee of the Arts, Culture, Heritage, Gaeilge and Libraries SPC that would complement the work of the SPC, this was discussed at the meeting of that SPC in February. It was agreed to bring an item to the March OP&F agenda to request a maximum of 4 nominations to join the committee. It was agreed those nominated together with invited representation from the PPN and Irish language groups based in the County would come together initially to discuss and propose terms of reference and membership for the Coiste. A proposal will then be considered at the next SPC meeting in May before the Coiste is formally established. 

It is now before the members to nominate a maximum of 4 members for the Coiste na Gaeilge. As per all committees, members are reminded of the requirement to ensure there is gender balance in the membership and cross-county geographical representation, ideally one form each area committee. 

Councillor C. O’Connor proposed, Councillor Y. Collins seconded and the Members AGREED that Councillor S. Moynihan be appointed to the Coiste na Gaeilge/Irish language subcommittee.

Councillor L. Sinclair proposed, Councillor C. O’Connor seconded and the Members AGREED that Councillor P. Kavanagh be appointed to the Coiste na Gaeilge/Irish language subcommittee.

Councillor P. Kavanagh proposed, Councillor C. Bailey seconded and the Members AGREED that Councillor L. Sinclair be appointed to the Coiste na Gaeilge/Irish language subcommittee.

This is now before Council for approval.
