Every public body named under the Official Languages Act has a duty to prepare a language scheme when requested to do so by the Minister for Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media under section 11 of the Act.
The purpose of such schemes is to increase over a period of time the volume and standard of services available in Irish from public bodies. These language schemes remain in force for a three-year period or until a new scheme has been confirmed by the Minister.
The department's most recent language scheme was approved in May 2018 and came into force on 28 May 2018.
