Concerns have been raised over whether funding to help pupils attend a new Gaelic learning hub in Falkirk would be provided by the Scottish Government if one is established.
Members of Falkirk Council's education, children and young people's executive heard that just five Primary 1 pupils would be enough to make it a reality in 2024.
Councillors were told that any new Gaelic unit would almost certainly be in a classroom in a central Falkirk primary school and that the Scottish Government will provide the funding for new books and equipment as well as a staff member.
