Gary Gannon: ...about the language. They pointed out that, last week, Airbnb advertised “stays to celebrate the Irish heritage” on its website and advertised listings in Gaeltacht areas from Donegal to Kerry.

Gary Gannon: ...While I am happy for the students in Dromclough national school, there are 405 other schools around the country in similar need of emergency investment. I ask that we continue that investment in Kerry while bringing it to the rest of the country as well.
