Irish Language: Motion.
4:00 pm
Mary White (Fianna Fail)
In 1962 I won a scholarship to Bolton Street because I was able to speak Irish for the Civil Service Commission. That is the reason I won a scholarship for third level education. I refer to a CD called "Progress in Irish". I asked the Minister, Deputy Ó Cuív, for advice on learning Irish quickly. He suggested that if I listened to Raidió na Gaeltachta every morning for the news I would be speaking fluent Irish within a year. I advise the Members opposite to buy the CD and use it in the car and learn the language. They should be ashamed of themselves.
