I move amendment No. 185:

In page 84, between lines 22 and 23, to insert the following: “(b) at least 20 per cent of members shall have a level B2 or higher of competency in spoken Irish on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR),”.

Again, the amendment seeks to increase the Irish language competency on the governing authority. We have discussed the issue.
