Very important to recognise the absolutely vital place @SabhalMorOstaig has in #Gaelic development and to secure its future.
Replying to @Ross_Greer
Sabhal Mòr Ostaig - There is strong desire for @SabhalMorOstaig, the world's only Gaelic FE/HE institution, to have degree-issuing powers. My amendment here would require Ministers to review its status with that specific question in mind. 8/9
