As reported on this site recently, the Fianna Fáil candidate in the E.U. elections spoke about the importance of the Irish language to her, a thankless task but a box that, oddly, even in modern times, still needs to be ticked by politicians. Ní Mhurchú said that the E.U. parliament was treating Irish as a second-hand language.
