On the point on the definition of "durability", under the Constitution the version as Gaeilge of an article takes primacy when it comes to the courts. The Irish definition of the word means lasting, enduring, constant, firm and persevering. To me, that seems to actually grasp what the Minister is trying to achieve through the use of the word "durability" in a the way the English-language version does not. That is something I came across I was doing my research.
