UACHTARÁN NA HÉIREANN
 San
agallamh eisiach seo do BLAS, labhraíonn Uachtárán
na hÉireann, Máire Bean Mhic Giolla Íosa, faoin
suim mhór atá aici féin sa Ghaeilge. Chonacthas
di gur cheart go mbeadh Gaeilge ar a toil ag Céad Saoránach
na tíre. Mar sin, ó thoghadh í mar Uachtarán,
chuaigh sí go díograiseach i mbun a cuid Gaeilge a
fheabhsú.
In this exclusive interview for BLAS, Uachtárán na
hÉireann, Máire Bean Mhic Giolla Íosa, talks
about her interest in the Irish language and her determination to
continually improve her fluency. Feeling strongly that the first
citizen of Ireland should be fluent in the native language, she
worked hard on improving her Irish from day one of her Presidency
in order to be able to set a good example to the people.
Tugann Eoghan Ó Néill cuairt ar Áras an Uachtaráin
le labhairt leis an Uachtarán.
Ach, níl an scéal iomlán againn go dtí
go gcloisimid óna múinteoir, is é sin an Feirsteach
Ray Mac Mánais. Bhuel Ray - an ndéanann sí
a cuid obair bhaile?!
To get the full story, Eoghan has to speak to the President's Irish
teacher, Belfastman Ray Mac Mánais. Does her Excellency do
her homework?!
But first, the Presidential tutor introduces himself...
In 2003, Ray Mac Mánais also wrote the Presidential biography.
Around the time of its publication, he spoke to Lynette Fay. You
