We need to create spaces for speaking Irish

I refer to an editorial headline in the Irish Examiner recently: “Flogging An Capall Marbh”.

I suppose I agree with lot of the sentiments expressed therein and the suggestion that the Irish language should become “a shared bond rather than a flag”.

There is no platform ‘compórdach’ to allow us to communicate as Gaeilge in the public arena and to have access to public services using the cúpla focal.
