No more so than this road and that road, or whatever else. The national planning framework does not have to be so specific as to which road or development will happen. This would be a guideline to influence planners, the local authority and the development plans at that level. If they take it into account that there is a need to address language planning, the statement would be set out there. We can include some issues in legislation related to the Gaeltacht because it is recognised by the existence of Údarás na Gaeltachta. That does not mean that in other development plans or in the national statement there will be any mention of future plans to expand, for example, in the case of naíonra and so on, because they do not have the same underlying protections as granted by Údarás na Gaeltachta. It is not just to do with Gaeltacht areas; it is to do with the Irish language as well. I will leave it at that but I will press the amendments.
