So many layers of colonialism, for so long. It's really not a huge issue, for me, but i'd like to support those who have strong feelings about the English domination remnants. Really, though , it seems there are more important issues to spend time on.

My family originates from both Scotland and Ireland, not a big fan of the Royal's.

Our family came to Cape Breton during the clearances. Remember Culoden don't put Royal any where near anything Gaelic.

From now on the board need to pay more attention to what is going on.ROYAL stays, discussing this is a furthur waist of time.

I believe the history of the treatment of the Gaels would be enough explanation.

The cost of changing the name could have been much better spent!

When one considers the past History involved, seems the Royal prefix to be in bad taste!!!!

My family and I have been against having the "Royal" prefix on the College from day one.

Should have the Gadhlic community opinion first.

"Royal" denotes support for Westminster. Well, it won't come from me.

Typical political move add a name but what benefits? If it came with a 100 million endowment to support the Gaelic language I could hold my nose. But otherwise the word royal does nothing but hide the English view on the Gaelic language.
