It is an issue. Nobody kicks up a row about it, but I cannot understand it. I have been inquiring about this for years. On one occasion somebody cynically asked was I wishing to change it, and "Yes" is the answer. If the professional description is in French as it should be and in Irish as it should be - I have a problem not with the Irish version but with the English version - why do we revert back to the Irish version in the English translation?
