Mattie McGrath: ...foreign nationals who are living in Cathair Dhún Uisce to pick up Irish than it is for them to pick up English. She told me Irish is a simple language to learn.

Peadar Tóibín: It is not my desire to put competing interests against one another with regard to funding but this goes back to my point on the Irish language and how poorly it is funded.

I guarantee...
