Amendment No. 17 to section 10 would shorten the Title of the Bill. Unfortunately, we cannot support this amendment. I implore the Minister of State on this very special day not to push this amendment. The Title of the Bill is of great importance to the deaf community. Keeping the word "recognition" shows the symbolic and significant nature of this Bill, and indeed this day. The Minister of State has been a great advocate and an active Minister of State on this issue. I ask him not to move this amendment and to keep the Title as the Recognition of Irish Sign Language for the Deaf Community Bill.
