We will now deal with the question proposed by Deputy Éamon Ó Cuív, on which a division has been challenged. The proposal is that the letter received by the committee from Conradh na Gaeilge on Bliain na Gaeilge be noted by the committee, that no action be taken by the committee and that the committee on the Irish language proceed to send the letter to other committees.

I propose that the letter be sent to the committee on the Irish language and that it decide to do whatever it sees fit with it. I am not going to decide for it.
