High Court judge, Mr Justice Iarfhlaith O Neill said that, as Waterford Co Council had accepted the first of the five houses in the development could be sold to a person with Irish to Leaving Certificate standard, it was not entitled to impose a higher standard on other purchasers.

The residents claimed the houses should be sold only to persons with proven competence in written and spoken Irish, and contended that having Irish to Leaving Certificate standard was not proof of the necessary competence.

Má fhaigheann/fuair duine onór san Ardteist i bhFraincís an sin le rá go bhfuil líofacht sách maith ag duine le cónaí
ar oileán Corsaca áit a bhfuil coinníollacha teanga i bhfeidhm chun seans a thabhairt de na daoine áitiúla cónaí ar an oileán.
A Aonghuis , tá saint an airgid ag tachtú agus marú na tíre lá i ndiaidh lae , mar a deir siad " A death by a thousand cuts " atá i gceist ach ní thuigeann na h-amplóirí é seo.

Tuigeann, ach is cuma leo. Creideann síad fós, in ainneoin an fhianaise, nach ndíolann Gaeilge an bó (nó gé na huibheacha órga, seans).

Irish doesn't sell...? Ní thuigim pioc i n-aon chor, tá rud orm!

p.s. isn't supposed to be "an bhó"?

Deirtear go minic "Ní dhíolann Gaeilge an bhó", i. tá béarla de dhíth chun dul chun cinn sa "fíor" saol. Chuige sin a bhí mé.

Tá scéal gé na huibheacha órga agat, is dócha.
