Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin (Cavan-Monaghan, Sinn Fein)

Ba mhaith liom comhghairdeas agus dea-ghuí a ghabháil leis an gCoimisinéir Teanga, Seán Ó Cuirreáin, as an bpost nua seo a líonadh. Is post mór é and it is a very welcome development that the proposal to make this appointment is before the House. I have just expressed congratulations and good wishes to Seán Ó Cuirreáin on his appointment as an Coimisinéir Teanga. It is an important appointment and, in the context of the stádas debate taking place within the Houses, there is importance attached to the proposition of Deputy Sargent that we should have the opportunity to address the appointment and the work of the commission in the course of Dáil debate. I support his proposal but do so in the context of congratulations and good wishes to the appointee.
