Petitioner submission of 13 January 2022

PE1922/B - Cancel all Local Authority expenditure on Gaelic expansion

In response to the Scottish Government submission, I feel that –

1. The information that Gaelic was (arguably) the predominantly language 400/500/600 years ago is irrelevant
2. We should not confuse demand for Gaelic in schools with the demand for smaller class sizes.
3. There is already too much street furniture and this will be exacerbated by doubling the language content
4. Most of all, no-one is coming forward with figures on how much this is costing
