Ms Moira Murrell:

I agree with what has been said. All the recommendations are interlinked. The important thing is that there is a working group in place. If anything, some of the considerations show that the county development plan is not the place to solve all issues. Support is needed through changes to national legislation, clarification and regulation, as well as through support and implementation, be that with regard to the level required for the Irish language competency or the linguistic impact statement. In delivering those services on the ground, it is very important that we have standards that we can all stand over. For the validity of any process, it is good to have standards and guidelines in place.
