Public Meeting to achieve fairness for the Irish speaking and Gaeltacht community
January 28, 2014
The people of Cork will be given their opportunity to debate the ongoing attacks on the Irish language and the Gaeltacht at a public meeting being held on Monday 3rd February in The Clarion Hotel, Lapps Quay The meeting will commence at 7.30pm
The public meeting is being organized as part of a new language rights campaign that has been established in response to the crisis created by announcement of the Language Commissioner, Seán Ó Cuirreáin, that he would be stepping down from his position as a result of the lack of engagement he has received from the Government.
The meeting is being coordinated by Gael-Taca based on a series of demands which arose at a public meeting held in Liberty Hall, Dublin, on the 11th of January. Over 200 people attended that meeting where it was agreed that an all Ireland campaign be organized to ensure language rights for Irish speakers.
Donnchadh ó hAodh, President of Conradh na Gaeilge will be the keynote speaker at the public meeting and the meeting will be chaired by Gael-Taca.
The meeting is open to everyone in the community and it will provide the opportunity to focus on the actions needed to fight fairness for the Irish speaking and Gaeltacht community.
