"I welcome the positive attitude of the European Commission and acknowledge that progress has been made with regard to the recognition of minority languages. However, much remains to be done if we are to place minority languages on an equal level with the prominent languages within the EU. Currently, Irish is only interpreted into English in the plenary session and I have had to stop mid one minute speech (while speaking in Irish) and revert to English due to a lack of translation facilities. Adequate training for Irish translators is currently only available in National University of Ireland, Galway (NUIG) and the professional bar organisations in Ireland, while this outlines progress I am calling on the Commission to provide further funding to establish other recognised Irish translation courses – so that an adequate number of Irish interpreters will be available in order to enable the European institutions to offer a complete Irish translation service as outlined in Rule 146 in the Parliament’s Rules of Procedures. As you said ‘we cannot consolidate our inter-cultural dialogue without multilingualism’ and multilingualism cannot arise without adequate training facilities."@en1
