Opposition walks out of Dáil over Gaeltacht row

Opposition TDs have walked out of the Dáil in a row with the Government over the Gaelteacht Bill.

They are objecting to the bill, which changes the funding structure for employment schemes in Gaelteacht areas, and gives the Minister the power to apoint board members to Údaras na Gaelteachta.

Sinn Féin and Fianna Fáil walked out of the Dail this morning after the Government refused to discuss any of their amendments to the Bill.
