Tá dhá cheist agam don Taoiseach. In ainneoin go bhfuil ceannaireacht léirithe aige le linn Cheisteanna na gCeannairí, níl mórán ar an gclár Rialtais i dtaobh na Gaeilge. Is é ceann de na gnéithe atá luaite ann ná go bhfuil an Rialtas chun athbhreithniú a dhéanamh ar an nGaeilge mar ábhar don ardteistiméireacht. An bhfuil an t-athbhreithniú sin déanta? Má tá cad atá ar intinn aige agus an bhfuil moladh ar bith ag an Aire Oideachais agus Scileanna nó ag an Rialtas?

I wish to raise a second issue in the context of the criminal justice Bill. We all recall the appalling story of Maíria Cahill, which moved us all last year, and the moving debate that took place in this House. Last night on the "Spotlight" programme we heard Paudie McGahon's account of having been raped and subsequently threatened by the IRA. We have heard stories of the cover-up by Sinn Féin of these happenings and are aware that the kangaroo court involved in this particular case took place in 2002, four years after the Good Friday Agreement. It was only 13 years ago; it is not ancient history. In light of what has been emerging and what we believe will continue to emerge over time, and in order to stop the drip-drip of information, would the Taoiseach and his Government consider establishing an independent statutory inquiry to examine these accusations of sexual and other abuse carried out by members of the IRA?

The official languages (amendment) Bill is due for publication this session.

I listened this morning to the interview given by the president of Sinn Féin, Deputy Adams, and found it quite incredible. If this happened to the leader of any other party down here-----

He would be gone.

The interviewer was actually bullied and told to read out particular items on the national airwaves. This is an issue that is so serious that there can be no hiding place. If a similar situation were to arise for the leader of Fianna Fáil, myself or the leader of the Labour Party, we would be expected not only to ask the relevant questions but to find out who ordered the kangaroo court, who attended it and where they are now. If a member of any branch of Fine Gael around the country was exiled, I would find him or her in ten minutes.

There is a duty on Deputy Adams to clear up a lot of questions about this latest revelation of a kangaroo court which occurred in this jurisdiction after the Good Friday Agreement.

We spoke previously about an investigation in respect of the Cahill case, which can be quite complex with two different jurisdictions. This happened down here in County Louth, the area represented by Deputy Adams. I believe there are some very serious questions that need to answered. I cannot answer them but Deputy Adams can.
