Mary Lou McDonald (Dublin Central, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

I again raise with the Taoiseach the commitments Britain made to the Irish Government and all parties in the North to introduce an Irish language Act and to commission abortion services in the North. We can all agree that women have waited long enough for these services. Certainly, Irish language speakers have waited long enough. As the Taoiseach will know, the British Government has again demonstrated bad faith on these matters. Will he tell us whether he has spoken to or will speak to the British Government to establish the dates on which it will deliver on both of these commitments? In his recent meeting with the British Prime Minister, did he ask about an tAcht Gaeilge or the British Government's intentions to honour the very clear-cut commitments made not only to Sinn Féin, but also to the Irish Government and all of the parties in the North?
