Irish language requirement for solicitors

Summary

Mitchell asked whether the review would consider removing the Irish language requirement for solicitors qualifying in Northern Ireland; the Ceann Comhairle ruled it a separate matter.

Gay Mitchell Mr. G. Mitchell Fine Gael

Is it in order to ask the Minister if he will include in this examination the Irish language requirement for solicitors who qualify in Northern Ireland? Will he consider removing that requirement when he is updating the legislation?

That seems to be a separate question dealing with a separate matter.
