I move amendment No. 156:

In page 16, between lines 34 and 35, to insert the following:"(14) In the case of a school which teaches through the medium of Irish or primarily through the medium of Irish, all said directions, notices, reports and representations to the patron and the Board under this section and all work carried out by the independent person nominated under subsection (4) shall be in the Irish language.".

This relates to the interview process in a Gaelscoil. All communications relating to appeals and non-admission of a child should be done through Irish. It is a basic requirement to communicate in Irish through these schools. Amendment No. 177 is similar. They seek that the schools would communicate through Irish out of respect for their ethos.
