If a small percentage of nationalists want to learn a dead language, let them pay for it themselves – I have no objection.

But to pay for courses, schools etc. at tax payers expense would be another waste of money.

Having said that, with her reputation tarnished by the Renwable Heat Incentive scandal, Arlene has a lot of ground to make up!
