A local TD is calling for more Government investment to increase the number of third level courses offered through Irish.
Speaking in the Dáil, Galway West TD John Connolly said 8 percent of children can attend primary school through Irish.
He pointed out less than 4 percent move to secondary school as Gaelige - and less than 1 percent undertake third level through Irish.
Fianna Fail Deputy Connolly - who is himself a fluent speaker - argued we should look at the model in Wales.
