Irish to be central for EU presidency - but not an option for journalists seeking accreditation

During Ireland's EU presidency, the Irish language is taking center stage, highlighting its importance in European affairs. However, journalists are frustrated as there's no Irish language form available for accreditation due to the lack of guidelines for implementing a 2003 law. This oversight not only affects media coverage but also underscores broader issues in language policy and representation within EU institutions. It's a missed opportunity to fully showcase Ireland's commitment to its native language on such a significant platform.
