Cuma ar an scéal go bhfuil muintir Lucht Oibre ag brú ar aghaidh le meath na Gaeilge... "The Labour Party is to table legislation in the Dáil aimed at removing the compulsory Irish exam for lawyers and replacing it with a voluntary system of recognising competence in the Irish language. The party's spokesman on the Irish language, Brian O'Shea, said the absolute requirement of Irish for all lawyers is now an anachronism, especially given the rapidly changing nature of Irish society........... He said Labour's Private Members' Bill would seek to move away from the concept of a compulsory minimum standard and would instead require the King's Inn and the Law Society to offer a voluntary examination in the Irish language and then issue a certificate of competency to successful candidates." Podser no duine a bhí ag cosaint LO & O'Shea roimh an toghchán nach raibh? Cad a deireann tú anois? A people without a language of its own is only half a nation.A nation should guard its language more than its territories, 'tis a surer barrier and a more important frontier than mountain or river
