We should lead. Being honest, the name of the new agency has yet to be decided. We will, of course, fulfil our obligations. We need to consider what we call the agency in the context of promoting it internationally but I am very conscious of the Irish language piece. I am happy to engage on that point as we take the legislation through the House. I am sure the issue will also come out at pre-legislative scrutiny. I am also happy to engage with the Deputy on the Conradh na Gaeilge submission. I have found its representatives to be very constructive in all of their engagements. They made a positive contribution to the Higher Education Authority Bill, as it was then, and Act as it is now, in making it stronger and better. I am happy to work with the Deputy on that issue.
