Have Parts 1 and 2 come into force according to section 10(2)? The last part of this sentence is true only once this is done, not immediately after royal assent: ‘On 6 December 2022, the Act received royal assent, meaning Irish became an official language in Northern Ireland and the first Irish language commissioner was appointed’.

I rephrased the statement. Kaihsu (talk) 12:50, 18 December 2022 (UTC)Reply

Still needs update: provisions, Ulster Scots, etc.

This article grandfathered a lot of things from the earlier ideas about an Irish Language Act, but the eventual Act has moved along. There needs to be a fresh summary of its provisions, especially the treatment of Ulster Scots and the Ulster British tradition. Kaihsu (talk) 17:22, 17 December 2022 (UTC)Reply
