But the actual translation of the Bills we are passing certainly does.

I accept that, but there is a system and it is not appropriate. It is a HR issue and the Leader is not in a position to respond, as I understand the rules, and the Government has no responsibility for it. It is a matter for the Houses of the Oireachtas Service. I do not know how the Senator can raise it.

It certainly has impacted on the work of the Houses and I raise it as an issue-----

I do not deny that, but the problem is the Leader cannot answer on it.

The point I am making-----

I am trying to protect him.

I take the Cathaoirleach's point and his guidance on it. The point I was making before he interjected was that there are implications as regards the translations of the legislation coming through. We are told mistakes have been made in the translations. These are legal documents based on debates-----

The Irish version takes precedence.

Yes, in certain cases and clarification is needed. I ask the Leader to give us clarification on what implications there are for the legislation that has been passed. How many mistakes have been made? What are the legal implications if people were to try to vindicate their rights to the courts?

Bhí go leor cainte ann maidir leis na cainteanna ó Thuaidh agus aontaím leis an tSeanadóir Boyhan. Ceann de na príomhrudaí atá á éileamh ag Sinn Féin sna cainteanna ó Thuaidh ná Acht na Gaeilge. Tá Acht na Gaeilge á lorg ag daoine eile - pobal na Gaeilge ó Thuaidh agus mar sin de. Cá seasann an Rialtas ar Acht na Gaeilge ó Thuaidh? Where does our Government stand on trying to have an Acht na Gaeilge as part of the ongoing negotiations in the North? Will the Government make a positive statement in this regard? I congratulate the new Minister of State with responsibility for the Gaeltacht, Deputy Joe McHugh, on his appointment. I would welcome a hearing with him, possibly before the summer break if possible ar cheisteanna na Gaeilge agus na Gaeltachta agus, go háirithe, ar Acht na dTeangacha Oifigiúla.
