Whilst Rome burns......
I'm sure that this is a malicious lie and that someone can identify the two or three times he has been into the Council Offices to meet the Convener or Vice-Convener this year.
It is obviously not helpful to have the MP (and MSP) and the Council arguing different positions, as it means that there is no coherent strategy on, say, the schools issue. But Mr MacNeil is busy on important matters of state, as the press release I received today clearly demonstrates.

Na h-Eileanan an Iar SNP MP Angus MacNeil, has written to the Director of Education at Comhairle Nan Eilean Siar, Mr Murdo Macleod, expressing his concerns that the Teacher of Music for
Mr MacNeil said:
“As music particularly is a huge part of the
“Having spoken to the Comhairle about the matter, and although they claim that it is difficult to attract people to some of these posts, I still feel that Gaelic should have been on the desirable category in the job advert.”

Perhaps an English language teacher could be recruited to help Mr MacNeil with the coherency of his press releases.

why not slate the sad excuse of a council we have now?
More like clowncillors than councillors.
The only qualification ABM has is he speaks the lingo from some orifice.
Again snipes from the sacred Isle must be back from the all exspense paid trip from Cambodia raring to do exactly what?
"----Perhaps an English language teacher could be recruited to help Mr MacNeil with the coherency of his press releases."
Hahaha! My sides are sore! At least the spelling is better than yours, but of course you put your regular grammatical ineptitude down to the 'heat of the moment' in the passion of blogging.
Absolutely ridiculous. The council is falling apart and MacNeil is involving himself in a nonsensical issue like this.
Since when was the ability to speak Gaelic any part of 5-14, S Grade or National Qualifications in Music? It certainly doesn't feature in the new Curriculum for Excellence outcomes!
Get on with the important matters.

Coherency is to do with the structure of the press release, and particularly the grammar.
Errors in spelling are a to do with literacy.
You are clearly illiterate - did you write the press release?
Anon 5:42 - more grammatical ineptitude...a plague, a plague! I'm still laughing.
Gaelic is an irrelevance anyway, like people protesting against the demise of the telegraph and morse code. If you really want your kids to get on in the world then let them learn useful 21st century global languages such as Mandarin and Spanish.
remind me again why we have mandarin in the world - when it was clearly an out of date, not to say irrelevant language about 50 years ago?!
"Gaelic is an irrelevance anyway..."
To those who use it as part of their everyday lives and help pass it down the generations?
Amadan.

If you went into the local butcher and asked him for a marag dhubh - in Mandarin or Spanish - would you be more offended if he told you to feck off in English, or in Gaelic?
