Aengus Ó Snodaigh: It has been a useful discussion on the point. I still believe, albeit the Minister has the amendments on a later Stage, that this relates to the national plans and regional plans in setting it out at the right place. It has to be taken into account to ensure these form part of every level, similar to the provision I asked for with regard to the Irish language, that it is not just discussed...

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I welcome these amendments, particularly that relating to community gardens. Many moons ago, when I was only a youngster, there were allotments in Sandymount opposite the Protestant church on St. John's Road. Bit by bit, the older men were leaving the allotments. This was not popular. There was a danger that the allotments would be taken over if they were let go to rack and ruin, which...

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Mar a dúirt an tAire, rinne muid déileáil leis na leasuithe seo ar Chéim an Choiste. Phléigh muid iad but there is a need to ensure the language impact assessments are embedded in the legislation. I know the Minister is quite favourable to this given that some of the later amendments he has tabled to the Bill will address the issue to some extent. The amendments...

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: The Deputy who raised the issue of translation has managed to escape the Chamber for a few minutes. Maybe he will come back or read on the record that there is nothing in the amendments I proposed that would place an extra burden on Irish speakers in the Gaeltacht - nothing whatsoever. There is already a burden on Irish speakers because they have to do all their business through English in...
