I welcome you all in Irish because from the 1st to the 17th 10 of March of course is Seachtain in a Gaeilge, it's Irish week. I know we have a great 11 announcement that Colaiste Rathin have the go ahead for planning for a modern state-of-the-art 12 school, there are councillors around the chamber like Cllr Thornhill and Oliver O'Brien who 13 actively promote Irish language and culture and they are both to be commended for that. So I 14 think it's fitting with Cllr Thornhill's encouragement just to start with a few words As Gaeilge. 15 Cllr THORNHILL: I think it's great to have this opportunity and to have Cathaoirleach leabairt 16 as Gaeilge, I think important for us as public representatives to, we have a great opportunity to 17 show the people in our areas that we are interested in our native culture, and as the Cathaoirleach 18 mentioned, after 20 years Colaiste Rathin have been given the go ahead to look for planning 19 permission to build a state-of-the-art up to date secondary school and it should do great for the 20 future of Irish culture in the Wicklow area, and especially in Bray, the area which I'm in, we 21 have three national schools.
