Agricultural and Food Supply Chain Bill 2022: Report Stage (Resumed)
Dail Éireann — 2023-05-10
============================================================

Charlie McConalogue (FF), Donegal

I thank the Deputies for the contributions here today as well. This is something we discussed on Committee Stage and I said I would look at it further. The point was made by Deputy Kerrane on Committee Stage that what is proposed - to call it "the regulator" as opposed to "the rialálaí" - may not comply with Government policy and with section 9D of the Official Languages Act, which relates to the name and logo of newly established bodies. I have checked and it does. Having said that, to change it in the way Deputy Kerrane proposes would indicate that it would be called "the rialálaí", as opposed to "an rialálaí", which does not make a lot of sense either.
