Donal Kelly

Question

“Can citizens write and talk to the council in Irish language? What is the future arrangement for an Irish language policy/services at the Council?”

Answer:

Citizens may correspond with the Council should they wish to do so in writing, we do not have formal translation services available for verbal communications in the council chamber.

A formal policy will be developed to incorporate and address all relevant obligations for Council.

Paul Adamson

“Will the council be writing to both Stormont and Westminster opposing the introduction of mandatory digital ID’s as done by Cornwall council.”

Answer:

The Council will not at this stage be writing to Westminster opposing the introduction of mandatory digital IDs.
