Government to introduce identity and language legislation for NI

Legislation on identity and language for Northern Ireland will be introduced by Secretary of State Brandon Lewis in Parliament on Wednesday.

As part of the proposals the Irish language would be granted official status in Northern Ireland, a move which campaigners hailed as "historic".

Ciarán MacGiolla Bhéin from An Dream Dearg said: "For the first time in this state we're going to have official status for the Irish language and that is a huge achievement."

The Northern Ireland Office said that the Identity and Language (Northern Ireland) Bill would aim to "deliver a balanced package of measures for Northern Ireland on identity and language, fulfilling the commitments set out in New Decade, New Approach".

"It will provide for the recognition and protection of the Irish language and the development of the Ulster Scots and Ulster British tradition," the NIO said in a statement.

The draft laws propose creating two commissioner roles - one for the Irish language and another for the Ulster Scots/Ulster British tradition.

An Office of Identity and Cultural Expression will also be established as part of the Bill, "to promote cultural pluralism and respect for diversity".

Separate to the Identity and Language Bill, the UK Government also announced that it is granting Ulster Scots recognition as a National Minority under the Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities - a status already granted to Irish, Welsh, Scots and Cornish.

If you care about it so much, why don't you use capitalisation and punctuation in your post?

I'm not sure it's anything not already surmised, the PM isn't really in control of what happens in No10 and the system isn't fit for the modern day. A leadership vacuum often then leads to bad behaviour from people.

There's a certain delicious irony - an irony even more delicious than Nationalist Northumbria accusing other people of performative posting when they raise issues of hypocrisy - that the DUP's decision to collapse the Northern Ireland Executive has facilitated a Westminster government introducing a Northern Ireland identity bill that gives legal recognition to the Irish language.

In that sense, the DUP's tactics are not only counterproductive, but self-defeating. In two years' time, the Northern Ireland Protocol will still be in place (which is, after all, the clear preference of a majority of the representatives elected to Stormont), Sinn Fein will still be the largest party at Stormont, and Irish will have official recognition in Northern Ireland.

I mean, I've yet to see a strong communist party in the UK. But at the same time, I am opposed to totalitarian governments.
