Tá dhá cheist agamsa. I dtaobh Foras na Gaeilge, an féidir liom glacadh leis, ó tharla go bhfuil Gaeilge anois ag an Aire Airgeadais ó Thuaidh, go mbeidh an Roinn sásta €3 a chur ar fáil d'aon euros atá an tAire sin sásta a chur ar fáil. Sa gcás go mbeidh go leor airgid do thairiscint ag an Aire ó Thuaidh, an tUasal Ó Muilleoir, an mbeidh an comhmhaoiniú ar fáil ón Rialtas ó Dheas d'Fhoras na Gaeilge, don Fhoras Teanga i gcoitinne agus don bhord of the Ulster-Scots Agency?

Tá mé cinnte go mbeidh mo chomhghleacaí, an Teachta Niamh Smyth, go hiomlán taobhach liom anseo, but will the Minister insist on getting the money to start the first section of the Ulster Canal. It is an absolutely fantastic project. It is a North-South project and one which I believe should have progressed during the bad times. The Shannon-Erne waterway was done in the 1980s, which were fairly tough too. It is a project that Unionists and Nationalists on both sides of the Border on this island fully support. Will the Minister be able to raise the capital? She will not be able to spend it. It is a slow spend anyway, because it is slow work. However, I am bitterly disappointed, us having gone so far, that, as I understand it, there has been no progress in the past five years. I am sure she, like me, would like to see this as her legacy and I am sure Deputy Smyth will support me in this particular demand.
