Gaeltacht Bill 2012: Committee Stage
3:00 am
David Norris (Independent)
It is not a language, it is just a fudge. I used to get this twaddle sent down to me about Ulster Scots which was written down. It is a dialect, not a language. Talk about me massaging things. The cute boyos up there are massaging things to get parity with Irish language for a thing that is wonderful, lovely and a part of culture, but it is a dialect, not a language.
