". – I would ask the honourable Member not to trespass on my concerns about minority languages. As it turns out the part of Ireland in which I was born is very close to Cornwall. In fact, in parts of Wexford, where I was born, there was a minority language that borrowed very heavily on the Cornish language.
The Union should have a concern and a generous policy for the lesser-used languages, because they are part of the extraordinary cultural diversity of the European Union. I do not want to say that the Irish language is in a special category. For me, it is in a special category, but legally it has a status that is rather different to some of the other lesser-used languages. However, I take the point that you made.
Do not trespass on my concerns, because I have a concern on this and on the issue of the Scotch-Ulster language and the extraordinary revival of this language.
Perhaps I have said more than I should as President-in-Office."@en1
