Tá dhá rud le rá agam. Déanfaidh mé iarracht mo chéad phointe a dhéanamh as Gaeilge mar tá sé oiriúnach sa chás seo. Molaim an tAire Stáit ar a bhfuil freagracht as an Ghaeltacht, an Teachta Kyne, as deontais a bheidh sé á tabhairt do mhic léinn meánscoile agus do dhaoine atá ag déanamh Gaeilge ag an tríú leibhéal, go háirithe dóibh siúd atá ag ullmhú le bheith ina múinteoirí, chun dul go dtí na Gaeltachtaí i rith an tsamhraidh. Tréaslaím go mór leis sin, sílim gur rud iontach é. Níl aon slí níos fearr chun ár n-oidhreacht agus ár dteanga a choimeád beo agus a fhorbairt. Tréaslaím go mór leis sin. Molaim an tAire Stáit. Táim cinnte gur cuimhin leis an gCathaoirleach go raibh mise ag caint faoi seo gach uair a raibh díospóireacht faoin nGaeilge againn sa Teach seo. Táim lán ina fhabhar. Táim cinnte gurb é an rud ceart le déanamh. Tréaslaím go mór leis agus molaim an tAire Stáit as an rud seo a dhéanamh.

The second point I wish to raise commends itself more readily to be raised in English. I put it to the Deputy Leader that we should have a discussion on the new broadband plan and its implementation every two or three months in order to discuss whether targets are being met and so on. There should be a rolling debate on this issue set for every three months. The plan is a wonderful idea. Those who read the article by Mr. Weckler, who is the acknowledged national expert, in The Irish Times last week will know that it is not possible to achieve a wireless solution or for 5G to do the business. No critic of the broadband plan has yet come up with a costed alternative that would provide exactly the same opportunity to rural people as urban people. That should be the criteria. Are we going to create a second-tier society, because this is the equivalent of rural electrification?

I agree with those who raised the issue of Spinraza. I have been in touch with the Minister on this myself and I know that he gets it, but we have to get a result. It is important. I agree with the two speakers who have said that Spinraza offers great potential and needs to be explored fully and made available.
