I have to give out and I do not wish to take this out on Deputy Nolan. This is typical of Sinn Féin to go too far with Irish language requirements and start annoying people about it. We should be trying to stop that. Tá grá agam don Ghaeilge agus is breá liom a bheith á labhairt agus á cur chun cinn. However, in this amendment, Sinn Féin is requiring all work to be carried out through the Irish language. It is one thing seeking notices, directions or representations to be done through Irish, with which I agree, but it is typical of Sinn Féin to go too far and to seek that all work be carried out through Irish. That requires someone to think through Irish.
