some argue the language is a political tool of irish nationalism, but linda passionately believes her work enhances her british identity. hi, chris, failte. hello, linda. hello, nice to see you. you re very welcome. what do you think of the fact that we ve seen this new appreciation, this new sharing, if you like, of cultures in northern ireland, what it says about the society we re in now? how important will that be in the future? i think the fact that we can have an irish language centre here in east belfast is a very important symbol of how our society has changed. that we re more tolerant, we re a more understanding society. many significant changes happen slowly. hello. nice to see you. emma desouza fought a lengthy court case, essentially over her right to irish citizenship. for me it was about ensuring that my own identity as an irish citizen was respected and upheld, but also ensuring that everyone else had that same right. what would your hopes and for that matter your concern
