NI: High Court to hear judicial review over Irish language strategy

The High Court in Belfast will tomorrow hear a judicial review against the Northern Ireland Executive over its failure to adopt an Irish language strategy.

Conradh na Gaeilge was granted leave in May 2016 to challenge the Executive over what they say is a failure to live up to commitments made in the St Andrews Agreement and the Programme for Government 2011-15.

They say the Executive is failing to comply with its duty under section 28(d) of the Northern Ireland Act 1998.
