I move amendment No. 64:

In page 10, between lines 11 and 12, to insert the following:“(vii) nothing in this subsection shall prohibit 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 and from requiring that such a student and one of his or her parents or legal guardians should attend an assessment, the sole purpose of which would be to determine whether Irish is the primary language of communication between that parent and child;

(viii) nothing in this subsection shall prohibit a post primary school which teaches through the medium of Irish from giving priority in its admissions policy to a student who has previously been determined by a primary school in accordance with section 64(3)(d)(vii) to be a student with Irish as a home language;”.

Beidh an tAire ag teacht ar ais ar an ábhar seo agus, mar sin, tá mé sásta gan dul ar aghaidh leis an leasú anocht.
