Summary of this debate

Auto-generated

The proposal is to discharge the order made on 8 October 2020 referring the Official Languages (Amendment) Bill 2019 to the Select Committee on Media, Tourism, Arts, Culture, Sports and the Gaeltacht and to refer it instead to the Select Committee on Irish Language, Gaeltacht and the Irish-speaking Community. I move: That the Bill be referred to the Select Committee on the Irish Language, Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community, pursuant to Standing Orders 95(3)( a ) and 181(1).
