À titre d'Irlandais parlant irlandais, j'étais convaincu que nous devions accepter une notion quelconque de bilinguisme et oublier toute possibilité à court terme ou même à moyen terme que l'Irlande devienne un pays où l'on parle uniquement l'irlandais.
It was my view as an Irish speaker that there was a need for us to accept a concept of bilingualism and to move away from any notion that it was likely in the short term or even in the medium term that Ireland would become an Irish-speaking country.
