Commenting on the Enterprise Networks Review, Comhairle nan Eilean Siar’s Chairman of Sustainable Development, Mr. Archie Campbell, said:

Air Dihaoine 28mh Sultain, tha Comhairle nan Eilean Siar a’ cumail co-labhairt air eadar-theangachadh. Tha dùil ri luchd-labhairt bho Foras na Gaeilge an Èirinn agus cuideachd eòlaich as a Chuimrigh. Bidh an Co-labhairt a coimhead ri na duilgheadasan agus na cothroman a tha an cois obair eadar-theangachadh Gàidhlig, gu h-àraidh na dùbhlain a tha ro buidhnean poblach mar thoradh air an dleastanas fo Achd na Gàidhlig.

Thuirt an Comhairliche Iain MacAoidh, Cathraiche Buidheann na Gàidhlig aig a’ Chomhairle, “ Se co-labhairt cudromach a tha seo, a’ coimhead ris an t-slighe air adhart airson eadar-theangairean, a’ toirt cothrom don fheadhainn a tha an sàs anns a ghnìomhachas seo a bhith air bun-stèidh làidir”
