Jack Chambers: Maidir le leasú Uimh. 47, cé nach bhfuil sé i gceist agam glacadh leis an leasú seo go díreach, táim ar aon intinn leis an Teachta go dteastaíonn seirbhísí poiblí den scoth ag lucht labhartha na Gaeilge. Trí na forálacha agus na caighdeáin a eascróidh astu, beidh mapa bóthair againn chun déileáil leis an...

Jack Chambers: Ní thuigim an méid atá á rá ag an Teachta Connolly. Ní hé an Rialtas a rinne an leasú seo a dícheadú. Táim sásta féachaint air seo agus moladh a dhéanamh ar Chéim na Tuarascála.

Jack Chambers: Faoin Acht mar atá, má dhéanann comhlacht poiblí cumarsáid i scríbhinn nó leis an bpost leictreonach leis an bpobal caithfidh an comhlacht sin a chinntiú gur i nGaeilge, nó i mBéarla agus i nGaeilge, atá an chumarsáid.

Jack Chambers: Baineann leasuithe Uimh. 58 agus 60 leis an bhfocal "déanfaidh" a chur in ionad "féadfaidh". Tá an dualgas ar chomhlachtaí poiblí ó thaobh ainmneacha, seoltaí agus teidil i nGaeilge sonraithe sa Bhille cheana in alt 9A agus ní fheictear dom go dteastaíonn tuilleadh leasuithe ar an bhfoclaíocht dá réir. Is é an fhadhb atá...
