Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

Given the time of year and the circumstances involved, there must be some way to investigate this so that it might be concluded.

I understand serious concerns have been expressed about the imprisonment of a young Tipperary man in England, Christy McGrath, on a murder charge. Little can be done now about this, but it is an issue of which the Taoiseach might take note. I met members of his family and a support group who are anxious that it is taken up with the British-Irish Interparliamentary Body and the British Prime Minister.

Tá a fhios ag an Taoiseach go mbeidh stádas na Gaeilge ag tosnú go hoifigiúil ar 1 Eanáir an bhliain seo chugainn. Tá a fhios agam go bhfuil easpa aistritheoirí ón tír seo sa mBruiséil. Cé mhéad aistritheoirí a bheas á gcur ann ag an Rialtas sa dtreo is go mbeidh an stádas curtha i gcrích i gceart?
