Níl ach beagán Gaeilge agam ach leanfaidh mé ar aghaidh. Tá an-áthas orm tacú leis an rún seo. Is le gach páiste an Ghaeilge. Ba chóir go mbeadh gach páiste in ann freastal ar Ghaelscoil. Faraor, i mo cheantar féin, níl Gaelscoil ar fáil i mBaile Átha Cliath 10 agus 12, nó Gaelcholáiste ar bith i mBaile Átha Cliath 2, 4, 6 nó 8. Go raibh maith agaibh to those campaigners atá sa Ghailearaí inniu. Well done to them. I will continue as Béarla anois.

There are no school buses for students in my area, who have no local Irish-medium secondary school, to get to Gaelcholáiste an Phiarsaigh. The children have to change public buses on the way to school and on their way back home. The No. 68 bus will soon be gone and there will be no way for these students to get to school. The Department will not respect their right to a school bus until 2030. That is shameful. Cén fáth? Cad faoi anois? Sinn Féin stands with the students of south Dublin who are demanding an education through Irish. Beir bua.
