How’s your Irish?

Well if you are a senior Minister in government apparently it has room for improvement.

One Minister says he plans to spend his summer holidays learning Irish.

The Transport Minister Leo Varadkar says he hopes to spend some time in the Gaeltacht in Donegal next month in an effort to pick up the ‘cupla focail’.

He says he is doing it so that he will be able to do more media interviews and debates as gaelige in the future.
