Móran taing, a Chéad Aire, as ucht teann go hÉireann airson bruidhinn anns a’ Ghàidhlig agus a bhith an seo an-diugh le óraid ionsporáideach, mìorbhaileach, sgoinneil. The First Minister is welcome and I thank her for her inspirational speech. Following on from the previous theme, we have great links in terms of language and culture. The Gaelic of Scotland and the Gaelic of Ireland went two different paths, but they are the same language and culture that are celebrated by different traditions across the islands. How will the Gaelic language and culture be used as a mechanism to enforce and help reconciliation across the island of Ireland, accompanied by Scotland? What steps should we be taking to help support our diaspora in Scotland? Gabhaim mo mhíle buíochas leis an gCéad-Aire as teacht os comhair an tSeanaid. Is mór an onóir dúinne go bhfuil sí anseo agus go labhair sí linn inniu.
