Abstract

The Irish language is an integral part of the social, cultural and economic identity of Ireland as a whole. As noted earlier, LPP as it affects Irish is formulated in two different jurisdictions by two different governments, each with distinct goals in relation to the language and the political, social and cultural circumstances in which it exists, North and South. Since the 1998 Good Friday Agreement (GFA), a changing conflict resolution (CR) context in the North has been trumpeted and in Chapters 2–8 of this book I shall examine to what extent, and in what manner, these changes have impacted on the protection and promotion of Irish in the NoI. As discussed in the next chapter, the language provisions contained in the text of the GFA focus on the British government alone, placing no specific LPP duties on the Irish government.
