Cabinet Committees

Naoise Ó Cearúil (FF), Kildare North

I spent my summer months drafting my first Bill to establish a national AI office. I was delighted to see on 8 September the Minister, Deputy Peter Burke, announcing that this office will be established. Indeed, in the budget last week funding was allocated for this very office. Can the Cabinet committee consider naming this office an oifig náisiúnta um intleacht shaorga, or ONIS for short? It is a good name, one we can all remember. It also fits with in with Acht na dTeangacha Oifigiúla as well. It is a name people will remember. Making sure it is in Irish will give it that little bit of strength as well.
