Brian Ó Domhnaill (Fianna Fail)

I agree with Senator Cummins that much of the debate has focused on issues unrelated to the amendments. It is important that we focus on the amendments go mbeidh an deis againn plé sonrach a dhéanamh orthu. Sin an fáth go bhfuil na leasuithe ann, go mbeimid chomh sonrach agus is féidir.

I dtaca leis an leasú seo, the amendments we have submitted demonstrate our fundamental opposition to giving a function to Foras na Gaeilge in deciding on networks, Irish language plans or service towns in this State. Irish to follow.
