There is no difficulty with that. I would just like to say that I can hear, to a certain extent, the frustration in the witnesses' voices. I can appreciate that. I think it was Mr. de Spáinn who noted it has been nearly 20 years since the Good Friday Agreement. Clearly we are the committee tasked with trying to ensure the Agreement gets fully implemented, so it is no difficulty for us to support his proposals. We genuinely thank the witnesses for coming in and we will stay in contact in respect of progress. There is definitely a need for an Irish language Act and the witnesses definitely have our full support.
