I move amendment No. 20:
In page 6, between lines 21 and 22, to insert the following:“(c) a school which teaches through the medium of Irish, and which gives priority in its admission policy to students who speak Irish as a home language, the admission statement of the school shall include a statement that the school does not discriminate in relation to the admission of students where it admits a student who has Irish as a home language in preference to others whose home language is not Irish.”This is a very important issue. An bhfuil cead agam Gaeilge a labhairt? I have no translation.
