Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: B'fhéidir go bhféadfadh an coiste cuireadh a thabhairt don BAI teacht os ár gcomhair agus an cheist sin a phlé agus na ceisteanna eile a bhaineann le craoladh trí mheán na Gaeilge, dualgais an BAI agus na deiseanna atá ann a phlé.

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: I dtosach, ba mhaith liom fáilte a chur roimh an chinnidh a rinne an Chúirt Uachtarach inné maidir le cearta oibre. I welcome the unanimous decision taken yesterday by the Supreme Court on the right to work of people seeking asylum. We need to get real about the issue of asylum. We also need to look at the right of people in that system to education. We certainly need to...

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh: Táim anseo chun mo thacaíocht a léiriú don Bhille seo inniu. Sílim go bhfuil sé fíor-thábhachtach. I am attending today to support the legislation.
