Greetings to any Irish speaking leprechaun out there !!  Cad e mar a ta tu? An bhfuil tu go maith? 


TUV sorry for "leprechaun" slur

Traditional Unionist Voice has apologised for its "childishness" after issuing a statement describing Irish as a "leprechaun language".
The statement was issued under the name of TUV vice-chairman Keith Harbinson and condemned the Department of Education for "wasting" money on Irish.
However after being distributed to the media, the press release on the party's website was changed to remove the term.
The original press release was entitled "TUV Blast Leprechaun Language Waste" and distributed to media outlets.
However that was changed to "TUV Blast Irish Language Waste" when the press release was hosted on the party's website.
The term "leprechaun language" was famously used by the current Finance Minister Sammy Wilson during a debate at Belfast City Council in the 1980s.
