I hear Macra president Thomas Duffy made a speech on Sunday in not one, not two, but three languages.
Like the other speakers at the garden party at Áras an Uachtaráin, he spoke in English and Irish. However, the addition of Polish really made heads turn.
This is part of his campaign to make the organisation more inclusive. For those who were lost in translation, he included a quote from Macra founder Stephen Cullinane in Polish. “The promised land is ahead – a rural people established on good will and co-operation.”
