Identity and Language (Northern Ireland) Act 2022

A vote to support means

It aims to give people the right to identify as Irish, British, or both, and to use the Irish language in official settings without facing discrimination.

A vote to oppose means

• —Some people worry the Act could be divisive by emphasising different national identities rather than bringing communities together. Others have concerns about the practical costs of providing Irish language services and whether resources might be better spent elsewhere.
