Sean-mhiotas teanga curtha ó mhaith
Tomaí Ó Conghaile
Tá an tsean-argóint a áitíonn go bhfuil níos mó daoine sna sé chontae a bhfuil teanga de chuid na Síne acu ná mar a labhraíonn Gaeilge scriosta ag Teacht na dTiarnaí i Londain.
Léiríonn staitisicí a eisíodh in Westminster an tseachtain seo caite go bhfuil pobal na Gaeilge sa tuaisceart a hocht oiread níos mó ná pobal na dteangacha Síneacha.
Agus é ag tabhairt freagra ar cheist pharlaiminte a chuir an Tiarna Aontachtach, John Taylor (ar dheis), thug John Rooker ó Pháirtí an Lucht Oibre le fios nach bhfuil ann ach 8,000 duine ina gcónaí sna sé chontae a bhfuil teanga Shíneach acu.
Is beag an líon é seo nuair a chuirtear i gcomparáid é leis an 75,000 duine a thug le fios i nDaonáireamh 2001 go bhfuil Gaeilge acu agus an 167,000 ar an iomlán a raibh eolas de chineál éigin acu ar an teanga dhúchais.
Dúirt Janet Muller, Príomhfheidhmeannach POBAL, gur léiriú maith iad na staitisicí ar na cúiseanna a bhfuil Acht Gaeilge de dhíth sa tuaisceart.
“Tá meas tuillte ag gach teanga agus ba cheart go mbeadh gach cuid den phobal in ann teacht ar sheirbhísí ina dteanga féin,” arsa sí.
“Is cás faoi leith í an Ghaeilge áfach mar is teanga dhúchais na háite seo í a bhfuil líon mór cainteoirí aici.”
Tagann na figiúirí seo chun solais ag am tábhachtach don Ghaeilge sa stát tuaisceartach agus feachtas ar siúl chun Acht a bhaint amach a thabharfadh breis stádais don teanga. Tá polaiteoirí Aontachtacha go mór i gcoinne an mholta áfach, é ráite cheana féin ag an DUP go gcuirfidh siad in éadan na reachtaíochta.
