Is leasú teicníula iad seo. I leasú Uimh. 15, tá an leagan Gaeilge ceart agus tá an focal "to" le baint as an Bhéarla. Tá "eile" agus "other" a scriosadh i leasú Uimh. 7 d'alt 9. Tá súil agam gur féidir iad seo a aontú gan díospóireacht mar níl iontu ach rudaí beaga teicniúla.

Amendment agreed to.

Government amendment No. 8:

In page 18, to delete lines 32 to 35, and to substitute the following:

"10.–(1) The Minister may by regulations provide that the headings of stationery used by a public body and the contents or so much of the contents and the lay out of any signage or advertisements placed by it shall, to such extent as may be specified, be in the Irish language or in the English and Irish languages and different provisions may be made in relation to different classes of body, stationery, signage or advertisements.

(2) Where a person communicates in writing or by electronic mail in an official language with a public body, the public body shall reply in the same language.".
