I move amendment No. 1036:

In page 535, to delete lines 2 to 9 and substitute the following: “(14) (a) Where an oral hearing relates to development within the Gaeltacht, the hearing shall be conducted in the Irish language, by a chairperson competent in the Irish language, unless the parties to the appeal, application, referral or request to which the hearing relates agree that the hearing should be conducted in the English language.

(b) Where an oral hearing relates to development partly within the Gaeltacht, the hearing shall be conducted bilingually, in the Irish and English languages, by a chairperson competent in both the Irish and English languages, unless the parties to the appeal, application, referral or request to which the hearing relates agree that the hearing should be conducted in the Irish language only.

(c) Where an oral hearing relates to development outside the Gaeltacht, the hearing shall be conducted in the English language, by a chairperson competent in the English language, unless the parties to the appeal, application, referral or request to which the hearing relates agree that the hearing should be conducted in the Irish language.”.
