That the Parliament welcomes the news that a Gaelic touring pantomime is returning to schools in the Highlands and Islands for the first time since 2019 with a story inspired by Pinocchio; congratulates Angus Macleod who has written and directed "Fiodhògaidhio agus an Fharpais-chiùil", and wishes the four actors performing the show this year, Rachel Kennedy, Claire Frances MacNeil, Fergus Munro and Evie Waddell, all the best of luck, and believes that the show will be seen live by 1,000 Gaelic-medium pupils, and a filmed performance will be shared among Gaelic-medium schools in the run-up to Christmas.
