I move amendment No.14:

In page 27, lines 34 and 35, to delete “include a sufficient number of judges with a proficiency in the Irish language to meet the needs” and substitute the following: "work towards ensuring a minimum of 20 per cent of the judiciary in each court as soon as possible, and 100 per cent in the case of the Supreme Court, are proficient to conduct their functions in both official languages, and guarantee that each court is capable of meeting the needs".
