Irish Language: Statements (Resumed). (24 Mar 2005)

Eamon Gilmore: Caithfimid deireadh a chur leis an tseafóid agus a admháil nach bhfuil Gaeilge á labhairt in áiteacha mar sin agus is é brú forbartha is mó atá taobh thiar de sin. Baineann cúrsaí pleanála leis an ábhar chomh maith.

Irish Language: Statements (Resumed). (24 Mar 2005)

Eamon Gilmore: Chonaic mé an óráid a thug an tAire inné á rá gurbh iad na rudaí is tábhachtaí na rudaí oifigiúla atá sé ag tógáil isteach mar gheall ar Acht na dTeangacha Oifigiúla. Dúirt sé gurb é an tAcht an rud is tábhachtaí a rinne aon Rialtas don Ghaeilge leis na blianta anuas agus níl sin fíor.

Irish Language: Statements (Resumed). (24 Mar 2005)

Eamon Gilmore: Ní hiad na rudaí oifigiúla na rudaí is tábhachtaí ach na rudaí atá ag tarlú i measc an phobail, ní sna hoifigí. Na rudaí is tábhachtaí d'fhorbairt na Gaeilge sa tír seo le blianta ná Teilifís na Gaeilge agus forbairt na nGaelscoileanna, scoileanna nach bhfuil an Rialtas ag tabhairt go leor tacaíochta dóibh. Tá a fhios ag an Aire go bhfuil laghdú sna Gaeltachtaí in...

Irish Language: Statements (Resumed). (24 Mar 2005)

Eamon Gilmore: Mise, thar ceann Pháirtí an Lucht Oibre, nuair a bhí an Bille pleanála os comhair na Dála ar dtús, a mhol gur cheart go mbeadh coinníollacha curtha isteach i gceadúnais phleanála i dtaobh na Gaeilge. D'aontaigh an t-iarAire Comhshaoil, Oidhreachta agus Rialtais Áitiúil, an Teachta Noel Dempsey, liom. Thug sé isteach alt sa mBille leis na coinníollacha sin. Mise, thar ceann mo...

Irish Language: Statements (Resumed). (24 Mar 2005)

Eamon Gilmore: Tá sé an-deacair bheith i gcomórtas le hAire; atá ag iarriadh bualadh bos a thabhairt dó féin de bharr gach rud atá déanta i dtaobh na Gaeilge. Ba cheart don Aire éisteacht leis an méid atá le rá seachas a bheith ag cur isteach orainn. Cé gur mholamar na coinníollacha sin ag an am, nílimid cinnte go bhfuil siad ag obair, nó go n-oibreadh siad amach anseo. Tuigim go mbeidh sé...

Irish Language: Statements (Resumed). (24 Mar 2005)

Eamon Gilmore: Tuigim sin go maith. Baineann sé leis an saghas meoin atá ag an Aire go mbaineann an Ghaeilge le hiarthar na tíre amháin, rud nach bhfuil fíor nó ceart. Ba cheart go mbeadh an dearcadh ann go bhfuil sé tábhachtach go mbeidh Foras na Gaeilge lonnaithe i mBaile Átha Cliath agus ag cabhrú le forbairt agus leathnú na Gaeilge sa chathair. De bharr gur chuir an tAire isteach orm, ní...

Will the Minister arrange a debate early in the new session on the four housing reports which...
