I move amendment No. 55:

In page 9, between lines 10 and 11, to insert the following:“(3) Nothing in this section shall prohibit—
(a) a primary school which teaches through the medium of Irish from giving priority in its admissions policy to students who speak Irish as a home language, or

(b) a post primary school which teaches through the medium of Irish from giving priority in its admissions policy to students who speak Irish as a home language or who has attended a primary school which teaches through the medium of Irish.”.
