I move amendment No. 252:

In page 72, between lines 39 and 40, to insert the following: “(12) (a) Where a part of the metropolitan area of any city or a key town falls within a Gaeltacht Language Planning Area, or is designated as a Gaeltacht Service Town, the regional spatial and economic strategy concerned shall respect the need to protect the use of Irish therein and the viability of the relevant Gaeltacht community.
(b) Where a part of the metropolitan area of any city or a key town is designated as an Irish Language Network, the regional spatial and economic strategy concerned shall respect the need to support efforts to promote the Irish language and sustain the Irish-speaking community within the area, city or town.”.
