Legal Practitioners (Irish Language) Bill 2007: Report and Final Stages (30 Apr 2008)

Pat Carey: Bhí plé fada ag an Aire ar leasuithe Uimhreacha 1 agus 7 ar Chéim an Choiste. An pointe lárnach a dhein sé ansin ná gurbh éifeacht na leasuithe ná go bhfágfaidís gur Bille neamh-bhríoch a bheadh ann. Dá mba rud é nár dheineamar ach, iachall a chur ar Ostaí an Rí agus ar an Dlí-Chumann "toradh a spreagadh" a d'fhágfadh go mbeadh líon dóthanach abhcóidí agus aturnaetha...

Legal Practitioners (Irish Language) Bill 2007: Report and Final Stages (30 Apr 2008)

Pat Carey: Deputy Flanagan's suggestion seems to represent the best way forward. The Minister, Deputy Ó Cuív, has reflected carefully on this matter and has concluded that the approach we have taken will provide the best outcome for trainee barristers and solicitors.

Pat Carey: Like the Minister of State, Deputy Tom Kitt, I am a strong advocate of a "Yes" vote in this referendum not because everyone else wants it, but because it is the proper course of action for Ireland, Europe and the world.
