Missing from the coverage of redundancies at Edinburgh: this was done in such a haphazard, uncoordinated way, there are now core teams who have gone from 5 people to 1 with no change in workload or pressure and huge loss in knowledge of institutional process. www.heraldscotland.com/news/2576321...

Increased funding for Gaelic in the new Scottish budget - a 5.2% increase, up to £32.4 million. (As the capital element (the Gaelic Capital Fund) has been frozen, the increase in 'fiscal resource' is actually 6.2%).
