Irish used for first time in Prime Minister’s Questions

The Irish language has been spoken for the first time in the history of Prime Minister’s Questions in the British House of Commons.

SDLP Leader Claire Hanna made the historical utterance at the British House of Commons to mark Seachtain na Gaeilge and St Patrick’s Day.

She also extended an invitation to British Prime Minister Keir Starmer to attend the Belfast Fleadh Cheoil, which Mr Starmer accepted.

Ms Hanna said it was a fitting occasion to use the Irish language for the first time at PMQs as people around the world prepare to “celebrate their Irish heritage and culture” over the coming days.
