I move amendment No. 108:

In page 52, between lines 34 and 35, to insert the following: “(3) (a) An advertising structure or town or landscape map shall only be granted a licence by a planning authority under this section where advertisements on a structure and information on a map are in the Irish language or in both official languages.

(b) A planning authority may issue guidelines on how an advertisement structure may comply with paragraph (a) so as to ensure that no less than 50 per cent of the text area is in Irish, with the Irish text no less prominent than the English text, or in the case of digital or rotating ad space on an advertisement structure, that no less than 30 minutes of every hour is spent advertising in the Irish language.”.
