The Department of Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht is conducting a review of the Official Languages Act 2003, in line with the commitment specified in the Programme for Government.
The Department hopes that the public and other key stakeholders will avail of the opportunity to make recommendations on the Act through the public consultation process. The closing date for submitting the survey and/or the template to the Department, in either Irish or in English, is 31 January 2012.
Note: The Department understands that the mandatory nature of the questions in the Survey (apart from questions 17 and 20) have been posing some difficulties for its entire completion by a number of candidates. Consequently, the status of all questions in the survey has now been changed to non-mandatory to facilitate completion.
All information on the review is provided here:
• Terms of reference

Information on the Act is available in this Guidebook which is published by the Office of An Coimisinéir Teanga.
