Is mian liom a rá gur mór an náire don iar-Aire na ceisteanna seo a bhaineann leis an Gaeltacht a chur síos i mBéarla.

An Ceann Comhairle

Ní ceist í sin.

Mr. Lindsay

The Deputy is well aware that all these affairs apply to the whole nation and that the whole nation should be able to understand the replies.
