Diolch, Dirprwy Lywydd, and diolch, Llywydd, for today's statement. We appreciate that with the arrival of tax-raising powers there is a likely consensus that the name of this legislature will change. So, we are not opposed to change per se. Many people have spoken about the name. The proposal from the Llywydd today, following consultation, is to style the legislature as the Senedd. Now, when we debated this last time around, Llyr made the point also that Alun Davies made just now about the example of Ireland, where they do have there the Gaelic terms of the Dáil and the Taoiseach in a country where there is not a particularly high rate of Gaelic speakers. So, given this example, there is a case that we could replicate that here in Wales by using terms like 'Senedd' and 'Aelod o'r Senedd'.

I did look into the history of the Irish terms so I could get some more insight into this. Now, the term 'Dáil' was first used when the Irish legislature was being set up in the early 1920s. So, an advantage they did have there was that it wasn't a case of renaming an institution; it was a new institution that was, essentially, being created. 'Taoiseach' came in slightly later. That wasn't introduced until 1937, but until that point they didn't have a Prime Minister as such; they had a chairman of an executive council. So, again, 'Taoiseach' was a name for a new position. I think there may be some difficulties here in Wales in that we already have this institution, and of course we already have a name for it, and many people are familiar with the terms 'Assembly' and 'Assembly Members'. So, I think there is going to be initial confusion. Of course, this confusion, I'm sure, can be overcome. 

Now, if we are going to go for 'Senedd', I think that then leads to 'Aelod o'r Senedd', which is AS, rather than AM. I think Lee Waters did raise an issue last time—again a slight issue—that it might confuse viewers of Welsh language programmes, as AS is the term currently used for MPs.
