Fears for future of Gaelic language as community workers’ jobs under threat
#Gaelic-language campaigners and MSPs have protested furiously about plans to axe a network of Gaelic community workers, raising fresh fears about the survival of the language.
Up to 27 Gaelic development workers based in Hebridean islands, rural counties and Scotland’s major cities are being laid off after the government cut funding to Bòrd na #Gàidhlig (BnG), the body charged with protecting and reviving Gaelic.
