I have a question regarding the well-being framework that is under development at the moment. We are quite closely shadowing the OECD framework, Better Life, which is welcome in many respects. It is a good model to follow. However, one of the issues it omits is a measurement around linguistic and cultural outputs, an element that is included, for example, in the New Zealand model. I take this opportunity to congratulate Ballygunner on its win in the all-Ireland hurling championship. I saw the Taoiseach in the crowd at the game. Its success contributes massively to the well-being of people within that community. Tá an Taoiseach an-tiomanta i leith na Gaeilge agus tuigeann sé go maith cé chomh tábhachtach is atá an Ghaeilge ó thaobh ár gcultúr. Does he see a role for a 12th indicator that is specifically designed to measure linguistic and cultural outputs-----
