Description

Cás Ombudsman Eorpaigh 2580/2006/TN. Bhí impleach- taí tromchúiseach do stádas na Gaeilge i dtuarascáil a chuir Julian Priestley ar fáil ar 29 Meitheamh 2006; sé sin ciorrú ar an Gaeilge gan bunús dlí á moladh inti. Tar éis freagra ar an tuarascáil a chur chuig baill choistí ábhartha san Eoraip tháinig freagraí ar ais i mBéarla. Dá bharr, cuireadh gearán chuig an Ombudsman. Seo toradh na scéala ina iomláine.

Dr Pádraig Ó Laighin made a complaint of maladministration to the European Ombudsman in 2006 concerning the failure of the European Institutions to respond in Irish to correspondence in Irish. This book gives an account of the socio-political background – from negotiations in 1970 to the campaign for official status for Irish – and of the Ombudsman’s inquiry and its results. The principal documents of the case are provided.
