It saddens me that as a public representative, an Irish person, and a woman from the Gaeltacht who grew up with Irish, that I cannot use my own language as I go about my work. It angers me when I sit in Parliament and I am told at the beginning of each meeting that an interpretation service is available in each language. Of course Irish is excluded and ignored.

Cork Sinn Féin MEP Liadh Ní Riada wants the European Parliament to start talking Irish more or less just for her.
