Seanad: Commemoration Planning: Statements (13 Nov 2014)

Caít Keane: ...The museum contains many of the original rooms, including Pearse's study, the family sitting room, the school art gallery and one of the dormitories. It was a bilingual Irish-English school and we are all aware of the emphasis Pádraig Pearse placed on the Irish language. His former cottage in Rosmuc is also receiving significant attention now. I urge the Minister to consider the...

Caít Keane: ...leis an teanga amháin a bhaineann seo. Tá roinnt foireann á ghearradh siar i ngach Roinn, san Oireachtas agus sna rialtais áitiúla. Níl gearradh siar á dhéanamh ar an teanga amháin, mar adúirt duine éigin, ó 1933 go dtí anois. Caithfimid rud éigin a dhéanamh. Ní mhian linn gearradh siar a dhéanamh,...

Dúirt an coimisinéir go raibh sé an sásta go raibh an post mar director a bhí folamh le cúpla bliain líonta anois. Is breá sin a cloisteáil mar léiríonn sé meas an Stáit don post sin agus don obair atá ar siúl....

Seanad: Water Services Bill 2013: Second Stage (23 Jan 2013)

Caít Keane: ...proposal was accepted. All other boards are known by one name only. I refer, for example, to boards like Bord Bia, Bord Gáis, Bord na Móna and Bord Fáilte, etc. If two names are used, the Irish-language one will eventually be dropped. Iarraim ar an Aire Stáit, mar gheall gurb í 2013 bliain na Gaeilge, a chinntiú go mbeidh "Uisce Éireann" an t-aon ainm amháin a bheidh in...

Seanad: Order of Business. (6 Jun 2012)

Caít Keane: ...Ba cheart go mbeadh díospóireacht sa Teach seo ar an tuarascáil sin.

Caít Keane: ...aon teanga amháin. Níl sé ráite sa Bhille cén teanga atá i gceist. It is a bit of a flaw that it is not specified in the Bill. In my innocence, I might presume it would be published in the Irish language, as the first language of the country, rather than in the English language. We are moving in the age of the Internet. We always compare "snail mail" with Internet mail, and...

The goal to double the number of speakers of the Irish language by 2018 is welcome. Labhair duine éigin faoin syllabus atá ann faoi láthair. The proposed two strand approach to the teaching of the Irish language is good and this can be done by...
