A chara, - As a lifelong member of the INTO, I am appalled at the attitude of the INTO executive and other second-level teachers to our language.
We have over the years become used to the extreme views of eminent TV, radio and press personalities, but until recently the teaching profession at all levels, has been totally dedicated to the preservation of the language.
I believe the vast majority of our people, North and South, wish our language to survive. That being so, I appeal to the great majority of INTO members, on whose endeavours and efforts the future of the language depends, to get in touch with their executive and make their views known.
