That was a statement by a Minister who has finally put up the white flag and acknowledged the well-founded concerns that have been raised about AFBI.

The hostility that you talk about exists because the Irish language has been weaponised against unionism. You can put your fingers in your ears and close off unionist concerns, but Irish creates a chill factor. There are polls that back that up. You talk about discrimination, Mr Sheehan: that is exactly what the Bill…

The Bill is not about fairness. It is a Bill about special treatment and elevating one section of our education system above others. In light of the provisions in the Bill, let me spell out why I say that. Clause 1 places a legal duty on the Department to produce an Irish-medium education workforce plan. The only…
