The tweet for a Conradh na Gaeilge anniversary was posted weeks after the actual event

A Belfast Council dispute over whether a tweet on the local authority’s X/Twitter account should be posted in Irish has been resolved.

Conradh na Gaeilge, founded in 1893, is a social and cultural organisation which promotes the Irish language in Ireland and around the world. The League's first president, Douglas Hyde, was the son of a Church of Ireland Rector in Roscommon, and many unionists were originally attracted to the organisation, including the Reverend Richard Kane, Grand Master of the Belfast Orange Lodge.

Alliance Councillor Michael Long: “I agree there is a real need for an Irish language policy, which I would be very supportive of. I see no reason why something shouldn’t be tweeted in the Irish language from this council. I find it ridiculous that there was opposition to this.” “I have no issue with various messages in languages when we have the City Hall being lit to support events or significant days in the calendar. But it is the timing around these things being requested.”

“The action plan will also be taken to this committee in September. That will include actions about social media tweets in all languages.”
