Éamon Ó Cuív (Galway West, Fianna Fail)

On a point of information, if the Deputy asserts that money spent on TG4 represents spending on the Irish language, that is the equivalent of saying money spent on RTE represents spending on the English language. By that calculation, if €1 billion is spent on Irish, €51 billion is spent on English. That was exactly the point made in 1950 in regard to the need to spend money on the Irish language.
