NEWS FROM THE CELTIC LEAGUE Earlier this week Yn Conradh Ceilteach/the Celtic League Irish Branch wrote to Liadh Ní Riada MEP expressing their wholehearted support for staging a language strike in the European parliament in protest against what she called the discrimination against her mother tongue within EU institutions and the dismantling of Irish language services by the government in Dublin. The strike began at the beginning of March and will continue until the 14th, these dates coincide with 'Seachtain na Gaeilge' a two week festival held at the beginning of March every year to promote the Irish language. Other Irish MEPs and minority and regional language campaigners and supporters from across Europe backed Ni Riada, and accused the EU and member states of failing to meet their own commitments on protecting linguistic diversity.
