Dublin MEP Lynn Boylan, of Sinn Féin, raises an issue about speaking Irish (Gaelic) during a European Parliament committee session on EU foreign affairs. Multiple reports describe an exchange in which Boylan appears to indicate she is not permitted to speak in Irish. The situation develops when she later switches to English after being told she can use Irish. The reports frame the moment as a brief misunderstanding or procedural dispute over language use within the committee setting. After the correction, Boylan continues her remarks in English, according to the accounts. The episode focuses on how parliamentary language rules apply in practice during committee proceedings, rather than on any substantive policy disagreement. The coverage emphasizes that the incident involves Boylan’s handling of language and the subsequent clarification by Parliament staff or officials during the meeting.
