I will deal with amendment No. 429 first, on the linguistic piece. That crosses over to what we have discussed at length with regard to the Gaeltacht planning, in particular the preservation of and supporting the growth of the Irish language in our Gaeltacht areas. I have dealt with the broader issue of linguistic context previously. We debated this at length. I did not believe it was appropriate to include in settlement objectives but I note that I am bringing forward two specific amendments on Report Stage which I mentioned, around the special plans in the Gaeltacht areas, the priority area plans and also for the islands. They are being prepared now to be brought forward. We had a long debate on this as to the appropriateness of it within this but I will be bringing Report Stage amendments on that.

Regarding amendment No. 419, this seeks to include public rights of way giving access to monuments in this provision. Are we dealing with amendment No. 417 as well now?
