To go back to the speaking note, we highlighted two cases regarding An Chomhairle Oidhreachta, or in the English language, the Heritage Council. This is in the Act. The national museum of science and art is part of Ard-Mhúsaem na hÉireann or, in the English language, the National Museum of Ireland. Again, we are happy to come back and explore it further with the OPC. I stated that it would raise drafting consistency matters; we see that with other pieces of legislation like that on An Coimisiún Toghcháin. In a lot of other new commissions being established, the Irish name is being used as a default.

We will go back and consult, and I have given a commitment on that. I agree with the Deputy about the prominence of Irish and English in the text, but we will go back to the OPC. If it is okay, we will give the matter further consideration on Report Stage, if that is helpful.
