I do not think it unusual to see other committees use such titles. For example, in the health committee, the title might refer to "cuts to services", "cuts to the number of special needs assistants in a school", etc. The issue in question has been raised by the Irish language community, Conradh na Gaeilge, etc., and they see them as cuts per se. I am sure we will argue the toss once the Minister comes in but there has been a cut. The provision in the budget is less than it was last year. I would not take that much of an issue with it, to be honest.
