A new campaign launched by Bóithre Chonamara is hoping that residents of the Gaeltacht in Connemara can be given ethnic minority status. The petition, which has just been launched says that 'If the Gaeltachts are registered as an ethnic minority, it would be hoped that the rights of the people of the Gaeltacht would flourish and that they would be on a par with a community outside the Gaeltacht again.'

Speaking to Dermot and Dave, spokesperson for Bóithre Chonamara, Mánus Ó'Conaire explained the reasons behind their decision to push ahead with the petition and what sets An Gaeltacht apart from the rest of the country.
