Wednesday 16 July 2014 16.12 The new Minister for Arts Heritage and the Gaeltacht has defended her level of Irish, following reports that neither she nor Minister of State with responsibility for Gaeltacht Affairs Joe McHugh are fluent Irish speakers.
Speaking in Howth this afternoon, Heather Humphreys said that the protection and use of the Irish language would be a priority for her.
Ms Humphreys said that she learned Irish to Leaving Cert standard.
She said that unfortunately, because she did not use it, "she lost it".
Ms Humphreys said she believed she would be able to represent a huge cohort of people in this country who "would love to have the confidence to speak the Irish".
Ms Humphreys added that she was prepared to "brush up on her Irish".
Yesterday, Taoiseach Enda Kenny confirmed that Mr McHugh had booked in for a refresher course at Oideas Gael in Glencolmcoille.
