There are more important issues....
So popeye, do you think all the other MEPS understand each other when they speak in French, German., Englis, Italian, Portugese, Danish, Czech, etc, etc ? Ms de Brun is as entitled to speak Irish and be translated as much as any of the others. Bad case of the old national inferiority complex

A Chairde,
In the past the rest of the world did not know that we Irish, in my case, Irish American, had our own language. Now the people of every country on this earth can speak at least 2 Irish words-----Sinn Fein!!!

ORAL QUESTION H-0526/05
by Marie Panayotopoulos-Cassiotou ( http://www.europarliament.net/serverb928.html ) to the Council
Subject:
Conserving the linguistic and cultural identity of the children of Europeans established in a Member State other than their Member State of origin
Achievement of the Lisbon objectives presupposes quality employment for European manpower, requiring European citizens to establish themselves for long periods in Member States other than their own, exercising their basic freedom of movement and establishment under the Treaties.
What educational measures are being taken by the Council with a view to enabling the children of European citizens established in a Member State other than their own to conserve their national linguistic and cultural identity along with their European identity, and thereby enriching Europe's own cultural diversity?

The Council has adopted a rather interesting "Conclusion" on "the official use of additional languages within the Council and possibly other Institutions and bodies of the European Union".
The idea is to allow people who speak and write a language which is an official one in their member State but which is not an official language at the EC level to use that language in their relations with the Council (and possibly other institutions). The languages concerned are those like Welsh, Russian, Basque, Catalan, Galician and probably some others we have not heard of and certainly cannot speak.
The practical result of this "Conclusion" is that the member State of the language in issue bears the cost of its use.
The official languages of the EU at present are, according to Regulation 1/1958 , German, English, Danish, Spanish, Estonian, Finnish, French, Greek, Hungarian, Italian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Maltese, Dutch, Polish, Portuguese, Slovak, Slovenian, Swedish and Czech.
Note that a new regulation was adopted on June 13th 2005 adding the Irish language with effect from 2007. That new regulation has not been published yet.

Mary Banotti had previously addressed it in Irish, and I am sure she was not the first. If people are going to throw cavaets onto their statments, they should do so in the title, instead of trying to mislead people
