Other Questions: Caiteachas Ranna (16 Jul 2014)

Peadar Tóibín: Tá gearradh siar uafásach déanta ar mhaoiniú d'eagraíochtaí Gaeilge thar timpeall na tíre le linn blianta. Má fhéachann muid ar Údarás na Gaeltachta, tá an tóin tite amach as an mbuiséad sin le cúig bliana anuas. Tá 75% den bhuiséad sin imithe anois. Ní hionann na ciorruithe sin le ciorrú ar aon...

Other Questions: Caiteachas Ranna (16 Jul 2014)

Peadar Tóibín: Thar timpeall na tíre, tá daoine ag cur ceisteanna trí Ghaeilge isteach go dtí an HSE, go Revenue agus go dtí gach eagraíocht Stáit, ach tá na heagraíochtaí ag cur na freagraí ar ais chucu i mBéarla.

Other Questions: Caiteachas Ranna (16 Jul 2014)

Peadar Tóibín: An fhadhb atá agam ná nuair a théim i dteagmháil le Revenue, deireann siad liom go bhfuil uimhir faoi leith ann don Ghaeilge agus má chuirim glaoch ar an uimhir sin go bhfaighidh mé an tseirbhís trí Ghaeilge. Ach nuair a cuirim glaoch ar an uimhir sin, ní bhíonn éinne ann le Gaeilge ach bíonn daoine ann le Béarla agus deireann...

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Quesitons: An Teanga Gaeilge (16 Jul 2014)

Peadar Tóibín: Ba mhaith liom comhghairdeas a ghabháil leis an Aire agus leis an Aire Stáit, ach, faraor, caithfidh mé a rá nach féidir liom sin a dhéanamh mar go bhfuil sé dochreidte nach bhfuil Gaeilge fheidhmeach acu, cé go bhfuil dualgas i leith na Gaeilge ar an Roinn. Mar is eol don Aire Stáit, tá na saineolaithe tar éis a rá nach bhfuil ach...
