Labhrás Ó Murchú (Fianna Fail)

I speak on behalf of an endangered species – the bean an tí in the Gaeltacht – and I hope to engage the support of the Leader in this regard. As a result of new guidelines from the Revenue Commissioners, it is almost certain that mná tí will no longer be available. There is hardly a Member in the House who cannot look back with affection on their first visit to the Gaeltacht. The bean an tí was the teacher, guardian and confidante.
