Irish Language
2:00 pm
Éamon Ó Cuív (Galway West, Fianna Fail)
When new bodies were established the policy until recently was to use the Irish name as the predominant name, as in the case of Bus Éireann and so forth. I accept that under the previous Government, the use of the English name became a habit, one with which I did not agree. As the Minister has outlined in documents on new agencies which are to be established, the English name will be universally used. When naming new bodies or redesignating bodies will he revert to making the Irish name the predominant name, as was previously the case?
