I have a brief query on amendment No. 555. Is there a reason it cannot be accepted? Is it that it is superfluous? It is slightly different from the others. It proposes to insert "Gaeltacht Service Town within a Gaeltacht area" after Gaeltacht in section 73(5)(a)(vii). At the moment the section reads that a notice shall be sent "where the settlement or the part of a settlement to which the proposed plan relates includes a Gaeltacht area, Údarás na Gaeltachta". The amendment proposes that this line read "includes a Gaeltacht area or Gaeltacht Service Town within a Gaeltacht area" to give recognition. Is that taken as a given?
