Senator Blaney, a member of the committee, has made a comment that he has asked me to read out on his behalf. He stated:

I welcome Conradh na Gaeilge here today. I strongly support their calls today but I feel we need to also recognise that the commitments in the three amending bills needed to be implemented in Stormont also includes provisions on protections for the Ulster Scots and Ulster British traditions. As a committee I believe we need to be inclusive of all elements of the amending bills. The Irish government are supportive as I understand it and I believe they are currently providing major funding in that regard. I would support an all inclusive motion which recognises all elements of what was agreed in the NDNA and thank you for a clear presentation.
