Galway Bay fm newsroom - The Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the islands has made 20 recommendations in its Irish Language report.
The report follows a consultation process with various groups including the Irish Language Commissioner.
These have been presented to Government as part of ongoing efforts to draw up the new Official Languages Act.
Concerns include a difficulty in obtaining services through Irish due to a lack of bi-lingual staff across the public sector.
