Á éiliú ar an gceart Gaeilge a labhairt
Peadar de Bluit
Ógra Shinn Féin
Ós na moltaí is déanaí a tháinig ón dá rialtas ag na cainteanna ag Naomh Andrew tá moladh ar leith ann do Acht Gaeilge. In ainneoin go bhfuil fáilte is fiche roimh an sprioc seo chun seans a thabhairt don Gaeilge fás is forbairt, tá sé i bhfad Éireann thar ama.
Is amaideach é gabhadh agus trialach Máire Nic an Bháird a tharla le déanaí. N'fheadar an bhfeicfimid an t-Acht Gaeilge nua á chur i bhfeidhm ar chomhcéim le teanga an Bhéarla agus deimhin á dhéanamh nach mbeidh a thuilleadh den geaitsíocht ann, cosúil le gabhadh Mháire.
Is saineolaithe iad na Breatnaigh ar iarracht a dhéanamh a dtoil as chur i bhfeidhm ar phobal na hÉireann. Tá teipthe leo cheana agus teipfidh leo arís.
Tá sé thar am don dá rialtas deighleáil leis an teanga Gaelach mar teanga beo in ionad peil polaitíochta. Níl sé de cheart acu ár dteanga a úsáid mar ábhar éilithe ins na cainteanna.
Is ár dteanga í agus TÁ SÉ DE CHEART AGAINN Í A LABHAIRT
Demanding the right to speak the Irish Language
In the recent proposals set out by the two Governments following the St. Andrews talks there is provision made for an Irish Language Act. Whilst this is a welcome move towards facilitating the Irish language to grow and develop on the island and abroad it is long overdue.
The recent arrest and subsequent court case surrounding Máire Nic an Bhaird is farcical to say the least. Will the proposed act see Irish language being treated on a par with the English language and make sure the arrests such as Máires a thing of the past.
The British are masters at trying to coerce their ways on the population on Ireland. It has failed numerous times, it will fail once more.
I believe it is high time that the London and Dublin governments deal adequately with the Irish Language outside of ‘political packages.’ It should not be used as a ‘bargaining chip’ for any political party and should stop being treated by such by the two Governments.
