"Possible discriminatory effects on non-speakers of Welsh are
justified as acceptable collateral."

Should be "collateral _damage__," right?

Or maybe I've missed the point. The context is a discussion - in
English, of course! - of ways and means to increase the "pro-active,"
so to speak, use of Welsh among ethnic Welsh in Wales.
