Thuirt Neach-Gairm na Còmhairle, Mgr Ailig Dòmhnallach, “As leth Comhairle nan Eilean Siar, bu mhath leam fàilte air a chuir air am foillseachadh de dhreach Phlana Nàiseanta na Gàidhlig. Tha mi a’ faicinn gur e seo ceum mhòr air adhart ann an ath-nuadhachadh a’ chànain. Tha a’ Chomhairle air pàirt cudromach a’ ghabhail ann a bhith a’ brosnachadh a’ Ghàidhlig ann an iomadach dòigh as na bliadhnaichean a dh’fhalbh agus tha sinn a’ coimhead air adhart gu mòr a bhith ag obair le Bòrd na Gàidhlig airson dèanamh cìnnteach gum bidh am Plana Nàiseanta soirbheachail. Dh’iarainn air duine sam bith aig a bheil ùidh as a chànan na beachdan aca a’ chuir an cèill as na trì mìosan a tha air thoiseach oirnn. Agus dh’iarrainn cuideachd air daoine a tha taiceil ris a’ Ghàidhlig a’ bhith an làthair aig na coinneamhan a tha Bòrd na Gàidhlig a’ cuir air dòigh ann an Steòrnabhagh agus an Tairbeart air 21 agus 22 dhen Lùnastal 2006. “ Commenting on the launch of Bord Na Gaidhlig’s Draft National Plan for Gaelic, The Convener of Comhairle nan Eilean Siar, Mr. Alex MacDonald, said: “On behalf of Comhairle nan Eilean Siar I welcome the publication of the draft National Plan for Gaelic and see this as a major step towards the national revitalization of the language. The Comhairle has played a key role in supporting Gaelic in the past and is committed to working with Bord na Gaidhlig to ensure the success of the National Plan. I would urge all those with an interest in the language to respond to the National Plan during the three month consultation period. I would also encourage people who are supportive of Gaelic to attend the public meetings on the National Plan organised by Bord na Gaidhlig in Stornoway and Tarbert on 21st and 22nd of August”.
