Anyone remember this case from last year? I hope they win.AN Irish family battling to overturn a court’s decision barring an inscription in Gaelic on their mother’s headstone have been granted permission to appeal the ruling.
The Coventry-based family of Westmeath woman Margaret Keane want “In ár gcroíthe go deo”, which means 'In our hearts forever', inscribed on her gravestone.
In May the Chancellor of the Diocese of Coventry, Stephen Eyre QC, ruled the phrase could not be allowed in the Irish language without a translation, as it could be deemed to be a “political statement” or some kind of “slogan”.
He also refused permission to appeal his judgment, forcing the family to apply for permission to appeal from the Arches Court of Canterbury.
The Arches Court has now granted permission to appeal the decision.
(Also I'm quite happy that Mary-Rachel McCabe has been instructed to act for the family as the junior on this, she is a great young barrister)
