07/23/2004: "Attempts to speak Irish in Parliament underscore need for upgraded status"

When Irish MEP Seán Ó Neachtain attempted to deliver his intervention on Thursday during the debate on the election of José Barroso as President of the European Commission, he was stopped in his tracks. The reason: Ó Neachtain was speaking Gaelic.
Will comment later.

Irish is our other "offical" national language. So I say they should be prepared to have Irish spoken in the EU Parliment.
