DUP minister shares cúpla focal with Irish language youth group
The education minister has said the Irish language should not be seen as a threat.
Paul Givan, of the Democratic Unionist Party, was on a visit earlier to a youth centre in Ballymurphy in west Belfast.
While there, he learned a few words in Irish, seen here in this clip.
He sat down with Irish-speaking young people during Wednesday's visit, which was facilitated by Fóram na nÓg.
“I've said before, we shouldn’t be fearful of people’s identity and languages, whether you converse in English, Irish medium, Ulster Scots and we have many other languages now in Northern Ireland," Paul Givan told BBC News NI.
“My Northern Ireland is big enough to accommodate everyone.”
"We want to build a Northern Ireland which shows respect and equality of treatment for everyone."
