Many everyday Irish phrases are included for the benefit of young people, to be used when they rise in the morning and go to school, when they are at school and in the schoolyard, and when they are at home in the evening ag déanamh a gcuid ceachtanna. Is leabhair bheaga iontacha iad. I encourage everybody to read these books, regardless of whether they like the Irish Daily Mail, as a means of doing their bit to revitalise the language. It is a wonderful initiative. I believe every one of us has a part to play in ensuring our language does not die. It is the only thing that makes a difríocht between Ireland and aon tír eile.
