A chara, - The letter of October 24th from iMeasc - a group of Gaelic-speaking immigrants - prompts me to write and offer them a "céad míle failte go h-Éirinn".
Over the centuries our culture and our language have been enriched by immigrant Celts, Vikings, Normans and planters.
I urge them to embrace one of the oldest cultures in Europe, with a rich background in literature, music, dance and folklore and the oldest written and spoken language in Western Europe. It is our and your heritage as citizens of Ireland. - Is mise,
