Pat Rabbitte (Dublin South West, Labour)

-----I am not aware of it. Such a policy is not intended. It is not exactly the daily meat of the Government to think about what we will call any bodies that are set up. We are trying to close down some bodies and merge and amalgamate others. It is not immediately on the agenda to have an bord nua in whatever area. If, however, there are good reasons to establish a new State agency or commercial entity, I am happy to agree with the Deputy that we should select a suitable name as Gaeilge which would be the brand under which the new company would trade. It is not my intention to establish new bodies unnecessarily, however. We had too much of that in the recent past, as I am sure the Deputy will agree.
