On the other issue, in any of his recent EU discussions has the Taoiseach or his colleagues raised the issue of the full official and working status of the Irish language because progress was promised after the Dáil and Seanad passed motions unanimously calling on the Government to avail of the opportunity of Ireland's Presidency of the European Union? What progress has been made, and an mbeidh stádas iomlán ag an Ghaeilge roimh dheireadh Uachtaránacht na hÉireann san Aontas Eorpach?

Has the Taoiseach had discussions with other EU leaders regarding their approach to Iraq during the EU-US Summit given that Britain is an occupying power in Iraq and that this summit will be held here? Will the Taoiseach tell the British and the US Governments to discontinue their brutal occupation, which is illegal and must end, and that Iraq's transition to democracy must be supervised by the United Nations?
