A group of Irish schoolchildren picketed the Offices of the European
Union in Dublin on Friday to highlight the campaign to have the Irish
language recognised as a working language for EU business.
In May 20 languages will receive official accreditation from the EU
however Irish is excluded from the list.
The youth and commitment of yesterdays protesters it is hoped will
send a clear message to the EU hierarchy that the issue of official
EU status for Irish will not go away - even if in May they choose
to ignore the requests for its status to to be recognised.
