They are already directly involved in Foras na Gaeilge. My colleague will argue that it is questionable whether Foras na Gaeilge should be given an enhanced role in this legislation because as it stands it is giving a Northern Irish Minister direct influence over legislation which does not originate in that jurisdiction without a quid pro quo in that the Southern Minister has no involvement in what goes on in the Northern jurisdiction. Correct me if I am wrong but that is the logic of these amendments. They are somewhat disingenuous.
