Amendment No. 1 is about the means of communication and language and amendment No. 2 is about the substitution of "Republic of Ireland" for "the State", with which we agree. The Minister of State also put in that wording, but the amendments were never put forward. We will finalise the Bill today. The Minister of State said he does not wish to state on every section he will put in the amendments that were deleted by the Department, including the amendment we put in and which was ruled out of order by the Chair. If the Minister of State had put it in, it would not have been ruled out of order.
