Tony Killeen (Clare, Fianna Fail)

I too appreciate the input of the two Deputies opposite in particular and others who were active on Second and Committee Stages because, ultimately, the job of the Oireachtas is to produce the best Bill possible and that is the business we are all in.

In regard to the amendments proposed by Deputy Howlin, glacaim leis ar leibhéal amháin, ba mhaith liom go mbeadh an leagan Gaeilge ann ach moltar dom go mbeadh fadhb ag baint leis b'fhéidir dá mbeadh cás os comhair na cúirte. Ní thuigim cén fáth go mbeadh an fhadhb sin ann ach moltar dom go mbeadh. In the event that the amendment was accepted there is a possibility that if a case came before the courts, which happens frequently in this area, that the Irish language version of the English language version of the Bill would be a complicating factor. I understand there will be a full Irish version of the Bill which will address my concerns and, perhaps, those of Deputy Howlin also.
