We need to halt ethnocide in Gaeltacht

In the wake of our inclusion of gay people in the Irish mainstream, via the same-sex marriage vote, can’t we raise the siege on Irish speakers and recognise their educational needs? 

We should conduct official business in the Gaeltacht in Irish, rather than in English, and support this linguistic minority with tolerance and mainstreaming, rather than ethnocide by neglect.
