I thank the guests for coming in. Like my colleagues, there are a number of issues I wish to raise about the certificate and the helpline, but I will focus my questions on the Irish language and how it relates to the certificate. I am sure the witnesses are aware that the spelling of names containing a síneadh fada has been completely incorrect. Scrambled versions of people's names were printed on the certificates and this has caused great upset and distress for people across the country, but particularly in Irish-speaking communities. When will a correct version of people's certificates issue to them?
