Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Seirbhísí trí Ghaeilge (12 Dec 2019)

Aindrias Moynihan: Gabhaim buíochas leis an Aire Stáit. Tá sé soiléir ó na figiúirí sin go bhfuil bearnaí ann agus nach bhfreastalaítear ar phobail áirithe, mar iad siúd i gContae na Mí nó Contae Mhaigh Eo. Is léir go mbeidh brú ollmhór ar pé duine a fhreastalaíonn ar Chúige Mhumhan, agus iad ag...

Aindrias Moynihan: The public is very proud of our Defence Forces, whose work includes peacekeeping roles, public service and so much more.
