Dear Editor, The Irish Catholic Bishops’ Conference no longer seems to care about the Irish language and catering for Irish speakers and those trying to cater for the Irish language community in parishes throughout the country. It is very difficult to find leaflets in the Irish language with the Sacraments of Baptism or Penance. It is also very difficult to find leaflets with the Sunday Mass in Irish.
There does not seem to be any enthusiasm for the Irish language amongst the hierarchy and that saddens me and many others.
Yours etc.,
An tAthair Joe McVeigh,
Enniskillen,
Co. Fermanagh.
