Níl ach ceist amháin agam a leanann na ceisteanna a chuir an Teachta Ó Cuív. Baineann sí leis an ábhar lárnach atá pléite go maith againn ar an gcoiste seo, is é sin, céard is inniúlacht ann. Ba mhaith liom an cheist a chur maidir le coinníollacha teanga, the language conditions that are applied. Deputy Ó Cuív put the question about external monitoring. I am not sure whether it was answered but I got an interrupting phone call so perhaps I missed it. Have we a standardised standard across the seven county councils in which there are Gaeltacht areas? Do we expect the same language conditions to apply to each of the seven Gaeltacht areas? Are they objective or subjective standards and with what are we comparing them? What external monitoring applies to that? If I were to apply under a linguistic standard to An Sean Phobal i gContae Phort Láirge, do I apply under the same language standards that apply sa Daingean nó i dTír Chonaill? That is the heart of my question, if any witness would like to reply.
