Leaders' Questions. (16 Nov 2005)

Enda Kenny: Few subjects over the generations have been the target of so much hypocrisy and lip service as the Irish language. I want to ask the Taoiseach a question about this today. While respecting the Taoiseach's improvements in spoken Irish, I will ask the question in English.

Leaders' Questions. (16 Nov 2005)

Enda Kenny: I support all that very strongly, but we have to go beyond this.

Enda Kenny: In view of the restriction of the Chair's ruling, a great deal of imagination is required to ask a question to which one might get a reply.
