Seanad debates
Thursday, 20 November 2003
Order of Business.
Senator Ó Murchú referred to the NUJ and what happened to him when he received an apology from that organisation, which, in itself, was something. The Senator also requested that the Minister for Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs, Deputy Ó Cuív, come before the House to discuss the position of the Irish language. He stated that there are countries in which native languages are used far less than is Irish here and he wants to examine whether it would be possible to establish Irish as an official language at EU level. I will ask the Minister to come before the House to debate the matter. The Minister is always very gracious and is eager to come here at every opportunity.
