Abstract: | This survey discusses the broader context of the 2005 decision to include Irish among the EU's official and working languages, particularly its effects on translation and interpretation. Irish's new EU status coincides with increased support at the top political level in Ireland, and is enhancing the practical role of Irish. However, the continuing decrease in the use of Irish by young people in the Gaeltacht si worrying, as is the failure of the authorities over many years to appreciate that language use needs to be planned. This may now be changing: recent developments give some grounds for hope |
