In the preparation of this scheme, due regard has been given to the Guidelines issued by the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media. In addition, there has been a process of consultation with relevant stakeholders.

 Teagasc is guided by the principle that the provision of Irish language services should be based on:

• the level of demand for specific services in the Irish language,
• the importance of a proactive approach to the provision of such services, and
• the resources, including human and financial resources, and the capacity of the body concerned to develop or access the necessary language capability.
