Labhair Garry Bannister, údar an Teasáras nua Gaeilge-Béarla a bhfuil breis agus 1,000 leathanach ann nuafoilsithe ar an gclár Tús Áite ar RTÉ Raidió na Gaeltachta.
Tá 700,000 focal, breis agus 1000 leathanach, aistriúcháin, nathanna úsáideacha agus tuilleadh sa Téasaras Gaeilge-Béarla le Bannister. Tá Garry ag obair ar an togra seo le breis agus 40 bliain. Deir sé go raibh grá i gcónaí aige don teanga agus deir sé gur theastaigh uaidh obair a dhéanamh ar son na teanga.
Baineann an togra seo le saibhreas agus le focail a chuireann síos ar an saol dúinn. Deir Bannister go léiríonn filí na Gaeilge nach bhfuil aon teorainn ag baint leis an nGaeilge nuair a thagann sé chun muid féin a chur in iúl, tá sí 'gan teorainn, gan críoch', a deir sé. Is féidir an Ghaeilge a mhunlú de réir do thuisceana féin, ina thuairim.
