Éamon Ó Cuív: Glacaim buíochas leis an Teach seo as ucht deis a thabhairt dom cúpla focal a rá maidir le cúrsaí logainmneacha. Tá córas comhuaineach aistriúcháin ar fáil sa Teach, agus, mar sin, tá sé i gceist agam mo chéad ráiteas a dhéanamh i nGaeilge, ach freagróidh mé ceisteanna sa teanga ina dtógfar iad ag an deireadh. Tá sé thar a bheith tábhachtach go bhfuil an díospóireacht...

Éamon Ó Cuív: Ba mhaith liom glacadh leis an deis seo chun na fíricí a bhaineann le cás An Daingin a chur ar thaifead an Tí seo. Tá breis is 2,300 logainm clúdaithe faoin Ordú Logainmneacha (Ceantair Gaeltachta) 2004, agus, go bhfios dom, níl fadhb ná deacracht léirithe ach i gcás amháin, agus mar is eol don tír ar fad faoin tráth seo, is dócha, is é sin An Daingean i nGaeltacht Chiarraí....

Seanad: Official Languages Act 2003: Statements (1 Nov 2006)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Mar eolas dom féin, bheadh sé ina chuidiú dá mbeadh sé seo pléite. Is é an bhrí a bhaineann an Seanadóir as an vótáil ná go bhfuileadar ag iarraidh go mbeadh ainm nua amháin ar an mbaile, "Dingle Daingean Uí Chúis", agus gurbh é sin amháin a bheadh oifigiúil. B'shin an bhrí a bhain an Seanadóir as an bpobalbhreith. Muna bhfuilimid soiléir cé air a vótáil siad, beidh...
