Enact a Gaelic Languages Act; equal status for Irish, Scottish Gaelic & Welsh
The Welsh Language Act 1993 recognises that language on a UK-wide basis and status not enjoyed by Irish or Scottish Gaelic. The UK Government agreed to an Irish Act as part of the St Andrew's Agreement 2006. A UK 'Gaelic Languages Act' would be non-sectarian and give Gaelic the same status as Welsh.
In the UK you can establish a company, pay your taxes and renew your MOT in Welsh. The same should be true of Gaelic.
