I move amendment No. 130:

In page 56, line 1, to delete "and cultural" and substitute ", cultural and Irish language".

While strategic planning is necessary at national level, it will ultimately be the role of institutions to deliver education through Irish. Therefore, plans should be included in the strategic development plan of the designated institutions outlining how they will contribute towards the aim of progressively increasing Irish-language provision. At present, most institutions, especially those covered under this section, seem to act as if they have no duty to provide education through Irish, but it should be the role of all institutions to play their part. That is why we are proposing this amendment.
