I am not sure about the legality with regard to the 20-year strategy and how legally enforceable it is on the boards. There is a broader issue in that the Irish language has moved out from the Gaeltacht areas and people in any part of the country who contact an ETB should be able to do their business as Gaeilge if they so wish. It would be important to recognise the language in the Act in this way so that people can have the confidence that they will be able to do their business in both languages.
