Éamon Ó Cuív: Calls for stronger supports for Gaeilge and panels

Éamon Ó Cuív: Calls for stronger supports for Gaeilge and panels

Éamon Ó Cuív spoke about the future of the Irish language (Gaeilge), urging measures to protect and promote it and calling for panels and roles for clerical officers. He emphasised technical, parliamentary and school-level supports and said new measures should be passed to secure Gaeilge.

Main points


He set out a sustained defence of Gaeilge, arguing for action to support the language "in the future" and repeatedly returning to the need for concrete measures. He described work currently under way and framed the discussion as both practical and necessary for speakers and public services.

Panel and clerical roles


He highlighted the need for a dedicated panel and for clearly defined roles for clerical officers in relation to Gaeilge. He said the panel should be established and that clerical officers and other staff must have a recognised place in any new arrangements.

Technical, parliamentary and school supports


He named technical and parliamentary supports alongside schools as essential elements for strengthening Gaeilge. He argued that technical assistance, parliamentary recognition and educational measures are all part of the package needed to make progress.

Local organisations and ongoing work


He referenced membership of Capacón Five Lí and work in the "Coal Garden" as part of local and organisational efforts to advance Gaeilge. He thanked listeners several times and presented the proposals as work in progress that will require continued follow-up and passage of measures.
