I join Senator Regan in expressing my appreciation to the Minister, Deputy Ó Cuív. The Bill benefits from employing that tried and tested means of having matters deemed to be the case, even if they were not in fact the case. I appreciate the approach of the Minister and his officials. This Bill will introduce a more honest and realistic regime in the practice of law through the medium of Irish. It is important that people have the right to have their cases heard in Irish. The Bill will introduce a more honest, straightforward and, ultimately, more satisfactory regime than that which has existed in the past.
