Just to clarify for the Minister, it does not pose practical difficulties. The Ceann Comhairle has ruled the amendment out of order for the technical reason that is has come from the Opposition. It is possible for the Minister to propose an amendment on the floor of the House now using the wording we have already proposed. This would allow him to put in the Irish and English translations and can be accepted. It has been done in the past and the procedure exists to allow it. If the Minister so wishes, he can propose an amendment orally and allow for it to be adopted. That is just to point out that it is possible.
