I have a question on the census and the Irish language. It is my understanding there is a question about speaking Irish, and around 2 million people would say "Yes". Can there be a follow-up question, potentially, that drills down into this and is a bit more specific? Can oral or written ability be rated so we can clarify the level of Irish spoken? That would be very useful.
