Irish Language

Teilifís na Gaeilge despite its detractors, has proved that Irish is a living and vibrant language. It's success is thanks to the work of thousands of GaeilgeoirÌ and enthusiasts who demanded their rights and are beginning to see the fruits of their labours.

To build on these gains Sinn Fein proposes:

• immediate recognition and funding for Irish language schools
• an all-Irish university
• a bill of rights ensuring equality of treatment for Gaeilgeoirí
• all TV and radio stations to transmit not less than 12.5% of programmes through Irish
