Seo an chéad deis atá agam mo bhuíochas a ghabháil le hAodhán Mac Cormaic as an obair ollmhór a rinne sé ar an mBille teanga, nó an tAcht teanga mar atá sé anois. Go raibh maith agat as ucht na...

Marc Ó Cathasaigh: Chun díriú isteach ar chúpla ceann de na moltaí atá ann, is é moladh 4 ná go n-úsáidfeadh gach údarás áitiúil modh deimhnithe náisiúnta chun inniúlacht teanga a mheas, modh ar nós Teastas Eorpach na Gaeilge a luaigh Dr. Mac Cormaic níos luaithe.

Marc Ó Cathasaigh: Nach gcruthaíonn sé sin an fhadhb chéanna atá againn i gcónaí, is é sin, nach bhfuil treoirlínte ann? Tóg, mar shampla, breac-Ghaeltacht nó Gaeltacht ina bhfuil an teanga beagáinín níos laige ná i gceantair eile.
