Government decision on EU status for Irish welcomed

Sinn Féin TD Caoimhghin Ó Caoláin has welcomed the decision of the Cabinet on Wednesday to apply for official working status for the Irish language in the EU.

"It is a very good result for the determined efforts of many people and many congratulations are due especially to the Stádas campaign," said the Cavan/Monaghan TD.

"They placed this issue high on the political agenda and won support on a wide political basis. I hope a positive response comes from the EU without delay. This will be a significant step forward for the Irish language."
