The Celtic League has warmly welcomed a move by the Isle of Man Constabulary to put Manx Gaelic markings on all its vehicles.

The Manx force was one of a number of Police Services throughout the Celtic countries which have been lobbied by the League's General Secretary, Rhisiart Tal-e-bot, over their attitude to Celtic culture and language.

Recently the Isle of Man Constabulary outlined the new move - see below:

"21st April 2008

Dear Mr Tal-e-bot

Further to our previous correspondence, I am pleased to be able to inform you that the Constabulary intends to place the Manx Gaelic phrase "Meoiryn Shee-Ellan Vannin" onto all of its marked police cars.

Work will be undertaken when vehicles undergo routine maintenance with a likely completion date being towards the end of the Summer 2008.

Yours sincerely

Gary Roberts Deputy Chief Constable

Cc Hon GN Quayle MHK, Minister DHA Hon PA Gawne MNK, Minister DAFF"

The Leagues General secretary has responded welcoming the move - see below:

"Dear Deputy Chief Constable Roberts

Many thanks for your letter dated 21st April 2008.

We are delighted that the Isle of Man Constabulary took our point of view into consideration on these matters and would like to congratulate you on your decision. We firmly believe that this will enhance the public perception that your Constabulary is committed to the distinct culture and language of the island.

We have so far received many positive responses from police constabularies throughout the Celtic countries to our campaign of raising these very important issues.

Congratulations once again and we look forward seeing the new Manx Gaelic phrase on your vehicles in the near future.

Yours sincerely

Rhisiart Tal-e-bot"
