Foilsiú Thuarascáil Bhliantúil an Choimisinéara Teanga , 2015
Embargo 7.00am Monday , 27 June 2016
Lánchosc 7.00 r.n.
Dé Luain , an 27 Meitheamh 2016
The Annual Report of An Coimisinéir Teanga for 2015 , published today , shows that the Department of Communications , Energy and Natural Resources contravened a statutory language obligation during the rollout of the national postcode system , Eircode .
This single issue attracted the highest ever volume of complaints since the establishment of the Office in 2004 .
Léiríonn Tuarascáil Bhliantúil an Choimisinéara Teanga don bhliain 2015 , a foilsíodh inniu , gur sháraigh an Roinn Cumarsáide , Fuinnimh agus Acmhainní Nádúrtha dualgas reachtúil teanga le linn sheoladh an phostchóid náisiúnta , Eircode .
Is ar an ábhar sonrach seo a fuair Oifig an Choimisinéara Teanga an líon is airde gearán riamh ó bunaíodh an Oifig in 2004 .
Most complaints to the Office related to names , surnames and addresses having been translated to English versions , during the rollout of the Eircodes .
This occurred despite the fact that the complainants concerned generally used their name and address only in Irish .
An Coimisinéir Teanga held that the Department of Communications , Energy and Natural Resources contravened a statutory obligation regarding Gaeltacht placenames when Eircodes were sent to householders in the Gaeltacht with the addresses in English .
Ba de thoradh ainmneacha , sloinnte agus seoltaí a bheith aistrithe go Béarla , le linn dháileadh an Eircode , is mó a rinneadh gearáin leis an Oifig ina leith .
Tharla an méid seo in ainneoin nár ghnách leis na gearánaithe a bhí i gceist ach a n-ainm agus a seoladh a bheith i nGaeilge .
Chinn an Coimisinéir Teanga gur sháraigh an Roinn Cumarsáide , Fuinnimh agus Acmhainní Nádúrtha dualgas reachtúil maidir le húsáid logainmneacha Gaeltachta nuair a seoladh an Eircode chuig sealbhóirí tí sa Ghaeltacht le seoltaí a bhí i mBéarla .
An Coimisinéir Teanga , Rónán ó Domhnaill , said when publishing the Annual Report today , that " having one 's identity recognised in one 's official language of choice is a fundamental right " .
An Coimisinéir Teanga stated that his Office receives a substantial number of complaints in relation to people 's difficulty in using their name and address in Irish with various state organisations .
An Coimisinéir Teanga pointed out that this illustrates the glaring need to amend the legislation in order to protect the use of a person 's name and address in the country 's first official language and that the proposal made by his Office more than five years ago on the matter should be implemented .
Dúirt an Coimisinéir Teanga , Rónán ó Domhnaill , agus é ag foilsiú na tuarascála bliantúla inniu , gur " buncheart céannacht duine a bheith aitheanta ina rogha teanga oifigiúla i ngnóthaí an Stáit " .
Thug an Coimisinéir Teanga le fios go bhfaigheann a Oifig cuid mhaith gearán maidir le deacrachtaí a bhíonn ag daoine a n-ainm agus seoladh a úsáid i nGaeilge le forais éagsúla an Stáit .
Dar leis an gCoimisinéir léiríonn sé seo an géarghá atá le leasú ar an reachtaíocht chun cosaint a thabhairt d ' úsáid ainm agus seolta i gcéadteanga oifigiúil na tíre agus go bhfeidhmeofaí ar an moladh a rinne a Oifig ar an ábhar seo breis agus cúig bliana ó shin .
Due to this loophole in the legislation , An Coimisinéir Teanga was unable to satisfactorily resolve the complaints relating to people 's names and surnames being translated to English when the Eircodes were delivered .
Mar gheall ar an lúb ar lár seo a bheith sa reachtaíocht ní raibh ar chumas an Choimisinéara réiteach sásúil a fháil ar na gearáin sin a bhain le hainm agus sloinne daoine a bheith aistrithe go Béarla agus an Eircode á sheachadadh .
On a separate matter , An Coimisinéir Teanga referred to the very low number of posts with an Irish language requirement that are being identified by Government Departments .
An Coimisinéir Teanga said that , in light of this approach , serious questions arise in relation to the State 's willingness to provide services of the same standard in Irish and in English .
He said that action should be taken now to strengthen the Official Languages Act in line with recommendations arising from the Oireachtas Joint Committee on the Environment , Culture and the Gaeltacht , from the public consultation process , from presentations made by him to Oireachtas committees on the implementation of the Act , and from the commentary published by the Office on the operation of the Act 's provisions .
Ar ábhar eile , tharraing an Coimisinéir Teanga aird ar a laghad post lena mbaineann riachtanas Gaeilge atá á n-aithint ag Ranna Rialtais .
Dúirt an Coimisinéir Teanga go bhfuil ceisteanna tromchúiseacha ann maidir le toil an Stáit seirbhísí ar comhchaighdeán a sholáthar i nGaeilge agus i mBéarla i bhfianaise an chur chuige seo .
Mhol sé go ngníomhófaí anois chun Acht na dteangacha oifigiúla a neartú i gcomhréir leis na moltaí a tháinig chun cinn ón gComhchoiste Oireachtais um Chomhshaol , Cultúr agus Gaeltacht , ón bpróiseas comhairliúcháin phoiblí , ó chur i láthair atá tugtha aige féin ar fheidhmiú an Achta do choistí Oireachtais agus ón tráchtaireacht a d ' fhoilsigh a Oifig ar oibriú fhorálacha an Achta .
" The increase of 6.5 % in the number of complaints and the increase of 79 % in the number of advices to public bodies in the last year demonstrates that the language needs of the Irish speaking community in accessing State services need to be properly catered for " , said Rónán ó Domhnaill .
" Is léir ón ardú 6.5 % a tháinig ar líon na ngearán agus ón ardú 79 % a tháinig ar líon na gComhairlí a cuireadh ar fáil do chomhlachtaí poiblí , le bliain anuas , gur gá freastal mar is ceart ar na riachtanais teanga atá ag lucht labhartha na Gaeilge agus iad ag lorg seirbhísí Stáit " a dúirt Rónán ó Domhnaill .
