I move amendment No. 3:

In page 10, line 9, to delete “regulator” and substitute “rialálaí”.

The amendment is to address a concern that has been raised in the Oireachtas Joint Committee on the Irish Language, Gaeltacht and the Islands and also to put into practice what the Minister, Deputy Catherine Martin, has stated is Government policy in respect of promoting the use of the Irish language in the names we give to official bodies. The Minister has amended this Bill, which I welcome, to reflect the new title of the office, as Gaeilge, to encourage people to use the Irish language. The amendment is a singular amendment to substitute the word "regulator" with the Irish word "rialálalaí". It is a singular amendment, but if the Minister is willing to accept it the Bills Office would need to do a piece of work to change it across the Bill rather than submitting potentially dozens of amendments. I ask the Minister to consider it.
