Dinny McGinley: Mar fhocal scoir, ba mhaith liom buíochas a ghabháil arís leis na Seanadóirí a tháinig isteach don díospóireacht seo. B'fhéidir nach raibh deis ag daoine áirithe bheith i láthair.

Dinny McGinley: In general, section 2 of the Official Languages Act 2003 specifies that services, offered or provided (whether directly or indirectly) to the general public or a class of the general public by a public body, are covered under the Act. The Deputy will appreciate that it would not be appropriate for me to comment on a matter of legal interpretation. The First Schedule to the Act lists the...

My Department is engaged in discussions with various stakeholders, including the EU institutions, in order to formulate specific proposals on the optimal approach to the ending of the derogation.

Tá áthas orm an deis a fháil...

Dinny McGinley: De réir an Achta is féidir leis an Aire iarraidh ar an Choimisinéir fiosrúchán a dhéanamh. Ó tháinig mé féin isteach níor iarr mé ar an Choimisinéir aon scrúdú a dhéanamh. Ar ndóigh, tugann an Coimisinéir tosaíocht i gcónaí dos na gearáin a thagann isteach ón phobal. Tá...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Public Service Oversight and Petitions: Tuarascáil an Choimisinéara Teanga 2012: Díospóireacht (5 Mar 2014)

Dinny McGinley: Tá an Teachta ag fiosrú faoi na gearáin a tháinig isteach maidir leis an Roinn féin. Níl na figiúirí sin againn. Níl a fhios agam an raibh aon ghearán maidir leis an Roinn ó thainig mé féin i gceannas. Ní cuimhin liom go raibh, leis an fhírinne a rá, ach déanfaimid soiléiriú air sin.

Dinny McGinley: Sílim gur baineadh an bhrí mícheart as sin. Tá sean-thaithí agam féin ar beith ag máirseáil ar son na Gaeilge, fiú amháin sula dtáinig mé isteach anseo nuair a bhí feachtas na Gaeilge ar siúl sna seascaidí, "Let the Language Live". Bhí mé i mo bhall de Chraobh Inse Chóir de Chonradh na Gaeilge agus...
