An cheist chéanna, the Minister of State, Deputy Kathleen Lynch, said this morning that the review of the fair deal scheme is on the Secretary General's desk. Can we have a more definitive timeframe for when it will be published? Will the Government allocate time to debate it?

Tá ceist eile agam faoin tuarascáil seo. Ba mhaith liom ceist a chur faoin tuarascáil ón gcomhchoiste maidir le Bille na dteangacha oifigiúla. Foilsíodh an tuarascáil inné agus chuir Sinn Féin fáilte roimhe. Is rud an-mhaith é an tuarascáil seo. Tá 34 moladh ann a chuireann béim ar sheirbhísí do phobal na Gaeilge a chur ar fáil agus a chosaint. An nglacfaidh an Taoiseach agus an Aire leis na moltaí seo? Níos tábhachtaí fós, an bhfuil an Taoiseach sásta díospóireacht a chur ar siúl ar an ábhar seo anseo sa Dáil le linn Seachtain na Gaeilge? Cathain a bheidh an Bille foilsithe ina iomlán agus os comhair na Dála? An mbeidh an Bille linn do bhliain na Gaeilge 2016?

Tá mo cheist dheireanach faoi the communications regulation (postal services) (amendment) Bill. This Bill will put in place data protection measures in respect of the postcode system, Eircode, which has been years in planning. I have some concerns about the cost of it and also the threat to local placenames, which must be protected. The system is supposed to be ready for the summer. If this timeframe is feasible, when will the communications regulation (postal services) (amendment) Bill be introduced? Is the Taoiseach confident of having it passed by the Oireachtas in time for the summer start?
