During the week, the Oireachtas Joint Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation heard evidence that, per capita, this State has lost more jobs in the past four years than any other western state since the Great Depression. In respect of the fall-off in the small businesses in this State, when will promised legislation be introduced with regard to county enterprise boards? Cathain a bheidh torthaí an athbhreithnithe a rinneadh ar Acht na dTeangacha Oifigiúla cúpla mí ó shin á fhoilsiú ag an Rialtas? Cathain a thiocfaidh reachtaíocht os ár gcomhair?

The Tánaiste, on two items of legislation.

First, the heads of the Bill regarding the county enterprise boards are in preparation. Caithfidh mé teacht ar ais chuig an Teachta mar gheall ar chúrsaí teangacha chun eolas a thabhairt dó faoin reachtaíocht agus faoin tuarascáil a luaigh sé. Gheobhaidh mé an t-eolas agus seolfaidh mé chuig an Teachta é.
