We are all in this together. Much work has been done and I pay tribute to my colleagues in the Fine Gael Party, particularly the man I call my spokesperson on the Gaeltacht, Deputy Dinny McGinley of Donegal South-West. He has been a great proponent of the language and has worked closely with the Minister. I miss him today as he is canvassing for a major event next week. My party leader, Deputy Enda Kenny, is a fluent Irish speaker whose children attend the gaelscoil in Tourmakeady.
