ASGI executive member Tony O’Donnell said there had been a historic fear of the language in the force.
“When I joined an Garda Siochana, there was a tendency to see that anyone who spoke the language had subversive leanings and we’d become used to seeing people with such leanings appear in our media and speak the ‘cupla focal’ (few words) and pretend that it makes them more Irish than the rest of us.”
He told the conference that gardai no longer had any reason to fear the language.
He added that the motion allowed time for new recruits to learn Irish before they became full members of the force.
The motion was carried.
