‘Language act mistake’

FINE GAEL made a mistake of voting in favour of some provisions of the Official Languages Act, Waterford TD John Deasy claimed yesterday.

Speaking during a debate on the Irish language in the Dáil yesterday, Mr Deasy said that his party should repeal certain aspects of the act if in Government.

“We should not be afraid to say so. We made a mistake in voting in favour of some provisions and the Government did also,” he said.
