“Irish language legislation will be before Wesminter without delay” – SF.
“Beidh reachtaíocht Ghaeilge os comhair Wesminter gan moill” – SF.
The Deputy First Minister of Northern Ireland, Michelle O’Neill, has said that she expects Irish language legislation to be before the House of Commons in Westminster soon.
Tá sé ráite ag LeasChéad-Aire Thuaisceart Éireann, Michelle O’Neill, go bhfuil sí ag súil go mbeidh reachtaíocht Ghaeilge os comhair Teach na dTeachtaí in Westminster go luath.
The British Labor Party has also pledged its support for the bill.
Tá sé geallta ag Páirtí an Lucht Oibre sa mBreatain freisin go dtabharfaidh siadsan a dtacaíocht don bhille.
Speaking in Belfast today, Michelle O’Neill said that the commitments made to the nationalist community under the “New Age, New Approach” agreement, including Irish language legislation, must be fulfilled.
Agus í ag caint i mBéal Feirste inniu, dúirt Michelle O’Neill go gcaithfear na gealltanais atá tugtha don phobal náisiúnach faoin gcomhaontú “Ré Nua, Cur Chuige Nua” a chomhlíonadh, reachtaíocht Ghaeilge ina measc.
“Unfortunately,” she said, “the DUP has been betrayed in its language duties.
“Ar an drochuair”, a dúirt sí, “d’fheall ar an DUP ina ndualgais ó thaobh na teanga de.
As a result, we had to find a way around them.
De bharr sin, b’éigean dúinn bealach a fháil thart timpeall orthu.
We now look forward to fulfilling the language promise at Westminister. “
Táimid ag súil anois go gcomhlíonfar an gealltanas teanga in Westminister.”
DUP MP Jim Shannon said in the House of Commons today that the British Government is prioritizing the Irish language above all else promised under the agreement on education or health.
Dúirt an Teachta Pairliminte de chuid an DUP, Jim Shannon, i dTeach na dTeachtaí inniu go bhfuil Rialtas na Breataine ag tabhairt tús áite don Ghaeilge thar aon rud eile atá geallta faoin gcomhaontú maidir le cúrsaí oideachais nó cúrsaí sláinte.
