Animal Rights Activists Respond to Sinn Féin Change of Policy on Fox Hunting – Near FM (2026)
Feedback to report:
Debate about Official Languages (Amendment) Act 2021 — Leinster House — DJP (28th April 2026)
I saw on a Nuacht RTÉ/TG4 report tonight that the 20% Irish speakers by 2030 target in the public sector and civil service was discussed at Leinster House today with SIPTU expressing difficulties with the target in terms of immigrants working in the PS/CS in Ireland in particular in the health service.
Here is a quote from Éamon Ó Cuív from when I interviewed him last nearly 3 years ago. I for one would support the target if I thought it was in anyway realistic i.e was anywhere near reachable. I believe that not even 1% of the population of the State and island are daily or regular Irish speakers outside of the education system. Because of this belief that I have I think the Government and other parties and Irish-language organisations supporting them on this would be doing well to reach 2% by 2030. So the target is pretty nuts insane a mon avis. They should have kept the initial 6% target dar liom. What harm is the 20% target when it is acknowleged by those supporting it that it is not going to be reached by 2030? In my opinion, like the 'working language' status of the Irish language in the EU (EU institutions), it damages goodwill to the language and Irish speakers from a lot of the public.

Recycling in Dublin
I was reading on ChatGPT there about the recycling process in Dublin and how important it is to clean
plastic items that are dirty. It's an interesting process.
