Blog feedCouncil meetings to be held in Gaelic
17th December
Comhairle nan Eilean Siar (Western Isles Council) is to conduct all its committee meetings in Gaelic, the Herald reports.
At the moment only some committee meetings are conducted in Gaelic but the council, which was set up in 1976, has now decided that all committee meetings and the full council will be held in the native tongue.
A full simultaneous English translation service will be available for all non-Gaelic speakers. There will be no additional costs involved because there is already a translator in the council’s Sgioba na Gaidhlig (Gaelic team).
