CREIDEANN AN COIMISINÉAR Gaeilge ó thuaidh nach n-eireoidh le h-iarrachtaí atá á dhéanamh ag líon bheag daoine chun cur síos ar chur chun cínn na teanga mar rud deighilteach tar éis gur thugadh do na cumhachtaí atá de dhith ón lá a thosaigh sé sa phost i mí na Samhna.

B’é seo a bhí le rá i ráiteas ó oifig an Choimisinéara Ghaeilge a éisíodh tar éis gur chuir Stát Rúnaí Thuaisceart Éireann, Hilary Benn , ordú ós comhair Phairlimint na Breataine trathnóna inniu a chuir tús dlithiúil le feidhm cumhachtaí an Choimisinéara Ghaeilge ó thuaidh.

Mar gheall ar seo, tá stadas dlithiúil faoi dheireadh thiar ag an Ghaeilge ó thuaidh faoin Acht Féiniúlachta agus Teanga.

Thug an Stat Rúnaí Benn léargas ar an amlíne a bhain le dul chun cinn na Gaeilge i ráiteas scríofa a chuir sé ar fáil shuíomh Westminster tráthnóna.

“Bhí creatlach aontaithe chun coimitmintí maidir le féiniúlacht agus teanga a bhrú chun chinn san áireamh sa chomhaontú Ré Nua Cur Chuige Nua a aontaíodh i 2020 chun Feidhmeannas Thuaisceart Éireann a thabhairt ar ais tar éis trí bliana,” dúirt an Stat Rúnaí.

“Fuair an Act Féiniúlachta agus Teanga an Faomhadh Ríoga i mí na Nollaig 2022.”

Sa ráiteas chuir an Stat Rúnaí fáilte roimh chinneadh Fheidhmeannas Thuaisceart Éireann i mí Dheireadh Fómhair 2025 Pól Deeds a cheapadh ina Choimisinéir Ghaeilge mar aon le coimisinéir don dTraidisiún Albainis Uladh agus Briotánach agus stiurthóir don oifig.

Ceapadh Pól Deeds ina Choimisinéir Ghaeilge ó thuaidh anuraidh ach bhí ar fánacht go dtí an tseachtain seo caite le h-aghaidh na cumhachtaí riachtanacha. Colm Linehan Colm Linehan

I ráiteas ó Oifig an Choimisinéara Ghaeilge, Pól Deeds, dúradh gur ‘forbairt thar a bheith dearfach’ abea teacht i bhfeidhm ‘formhór na bhforálacha eile den Acht Féiniúlachta agus Teanga (TÉ) 2022′.

“Tá príomhchuspóir an Achta – mar atá aitheantas oifigiúil a bhronnadh ar an Ghaeilge, go háirithe trí ról an Choimisinéara Teanga Gaeilge – tá sé sin i bhfeidhm go hiomlán anois.”

”Cuirfidh sé seo le cumas an Choimisinéara leanúint lena chlár comhairliúcháin agus idirphlé.”

Thug an Coimisinéar le fios sa ráiteas go raibh sé i gceist aige meas a léiriú do gach cultúr ina chur chuige mar a bhí déanta aige go dtí seo.

“Ní ligfidh sé dó féin a bheith curtha ar seachrán ag iarrachtaí líon beag daoine le cúpla seachtain agus mí anuas chun cur síos ar chur chun cinn na Gaeilge mar rud deighilteach nó chun feachtasaíocht a dhéanamh in aghaidh Oifig an Choimisinéara Gaeilge,” dúradh sa ráiteas.

“Is cosúil go bhfuil roinnt de na hiarrachtaí seo dírithe ar chur i gcoinne feidhmiú an Achta Féiniúlachta agus Teanga mar a bhaineann sé leis an nGaeilge.

Is minic go raibh an focal stairiúil luaite leis an nGaeilge ó thuaidh le blianta beaga anuas agus thug Uachtarán Chonradh na Gaeilge, Ciarán Mac Giolla Bhéin, amach é dá ráiteas siúd ag cur fáilte roimh an fhorbairt.

“Níl aon amhras ach gur clochmhíle stairiúil eile í seo agus forálacha tosaithe inniu a aithníonn stádas na Gaeilge ó thuaidh go foirmiúil sa dlí,” dúirt sé.

“Don chéad uair riamh, tá aitheantas oifigiúil agus dlíthiúil don Ghaeilge i bhfeidhm sa dlí.

“Is toradh é sin uilig ar ghníomh agus ar fheachtasaíocht phobal na Gaeilge a d’éiligh cearta, cothromas agus cóir riamh anall.

Chuir Mac Giolla Bhéin fáilte ar leith roimh tús a bheith curtha le feidhm na gcumhachtaí don gCoimisinéir Ghaeilge.

“Tugann na forálacha seo cumhacht don Choimisinéir na caighdeáin dea-chleachtais don Ghaeilge a fhorbairt agus a fhoilsiú.

“Beidh na caighdeáin sin le cur i bhfeidhm ag achan uile cheann de bhreis agus 100 údarás poiblí ó thuaidh san am atá romhainn.”

Tháinig an scéal seo inniu agus dhá chás chúirte ar bun i mBéal Feirste ag Conradh na Gaeilge. I gcás amháin, thug an Breitheamh le fios go ndéanfadh sé a mhachnamh ar dhúshlán a bhí tugtha ag an ghníomhaí aondachtach Jamie Bryson ar chinneadh an Aire Bhonneagair ó Shinn Féin, Liz Kimmins, ordú a thabhairt go gcuirfí comharthaí dhá theangacha le Gaeilge san áireamh sa staisiun iompair i lár Bhéal Feirste, Grand Central Station.

Sa chás eile bhí argóinti le déanamh ag dlíodóirí an Aire Phobail de chuid an DUP, Gordon Lyons, faoin údar a raibh aige moill a chuir ar straitéis Ghaeilge a chuir ós comhair an Fheidhmeannais. Is é seo an tríú uair do Chonradh na Gaeilge athbhreithniú bhreithiúnach a lorg faoin teip seo.

Sa chás faoin Mhór Stáisiúin Lárnach, thug an Choimisinéir Ghaeilge a bharúil ná raibh sé conspóideach go mbeadh comharthaíocht dhá theangach sa bhfoirgneamh. Dar leis gurb é comharthaíocht dhá theangach sampla den chleachtas is fearr go h-idirnáisiunta.
