Having heard the Minister's response, I am all the more concerned with regard to this specific issue. Anything the Minister said certainly does not convince me. I am listening attentively to what my colleagues are saying. We have not thought through the enormity of what we are doing here, the implications it will have and what it will mean.

While I respect Deputies such as Deputy Ó Cuív who have made a contribution on their viewpoint on the use of the Irish language on the warnings, we are losing sight completely of what we should be doing here. We are going down a dangerous road with which I could not agree. Deputy Donnelly is making fair and reasoned arguments but I think they are wrong. They are ignoring the industry. I could not agree with it. The Minister's response is of no comfort to me.
