Alan Shatter (Dublin South, Fine Gael)

I will conclude on this point. I should mention that on Committee Stage, on the advice of the official translators office, I will be moving a number of amendments to the Irish language terminology in the Bill. These are technical amendments relating to the words for "remuneration" and "public interest".

I am conscious that there is other information in the speech that I furnished to Deputies that I have not had the time to cover. I draw their attention in particular to what I hope is of assistance to them in setting out clearly the financial impact on judicial salaries should the referendum be successful and the envisaged legislation enacted. I look forward to hearing what Deputies have to say during the course of the debate. I hope this measure will have the support of all sides of this House.
