Imelda May took to Twitter this week to express the sense of loss she felt after watching Fleadh 2020. The singer had been watching the final event of the traditional music festival on TG4 and it got her thinking about the decline of the Irish language and her own lack of fluency.

Katie Byrne writer with the Irish Independent joined Mark to discuss how Imelda Mays words made her think about her own relationship with the Irish language.
