Two takes on the Irish language: one from Patrick's dad, who was a schoolboy in the early years of Ireland's independence, when studying Irish was an exercise in nation-building. Then, an interview with Manchan Magan who made a TV series about traveling around Ireland speaking only Irish. Next, we hear from Alexander McCall Smith: his latest offering in the No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency series is a children's book in the Scots language.
