Irish Language Act

(

)

... that Northern Ireland politician Arlene Foster compared passing an Irish Language Act to "feed[ing] a crocodile"? Source: "In the lead up to last week’s vote, the former first minister said “if you feed a crocodile it will keep coming back and looking for more” in relation to Sinn Féin’s demand for an Irish Language Act." Irish Times
- ALT1:... that the Northern Ireland government has been deadlocked for more than two years because nationalists insist on an Irish Language Act which unionists refuse to allow? Source: "The Irish Language Act has become the most prominent discussion point, not just for Sinn Féin, but among mainstream media and broadcasters, and across Northern Ireland in general. It’s unclear what it would entail, and whether it’s merely a matter of Irish on road signs and public buildings, or something greater like equal opportunities for English and Irish speakers in public sector jobs. But any deal would almost certainly have to include it in some shape or form, even if it means the DUP insisting on similar protections for the lesser used Ulster Scots dialect." the Independent
