We have a wonderful facility in this House that has been well utilised, namely, the facility to invite distinguished guests to contribute. We have heard from MEPs, Mrs. Mary Robinson and Mr. Drew Nelson. I ask the Leader to consider talking to the Seanad Committee on Procedure and Privileges about inviting the language commissioner to address the House to give us an overview of his ten years in office, how he feels the Official Languages Act has been implemented and how he would advise and, possibly, direct us on its future implementation. He might also outline his thoughts on the issue. Bheadh sé an-tábhachtach agus an-tairbheach dá n-iarrfaí ar Seán Ó Cuirreáin, , teacht os ár gcomhair sula mbeidh sé imithe as oifig i Mí Feabhra le léargas a thabhairt dúinn ar na deachrachtaí a bhí aige, an méid a d'fhoghlaim sé, an méid a cuireadh i bhfeidhm le deich mbliana anuas agus an bóthar chun cinn. Tá súil agam go dtógfaidh an Ceannaire ar bord an moladh seo.
