[Culture] Gov Phonelines Bilingual madness

Granted, Ireland is taking Irish seriously, and government public information are now all bi-lingual since July 2006. But even with telephone services (Indo onine - need registration).

PEOPLE left hanging on the telephone while a voice gives them interminable "options" are to get a double earful from Government departments because now they're going to have to listen in English . . . and Irish.

I think they are in cohoots with the phone companies to sqeeze every cent from us, while we wait for all the options bilingually.
