This Much I Know: 'I'm afraid of crocodiles!' — TG4's Donncha Ó Murchú 

The thing that surprises me regularly is the number of Irish words for wet, cold weather!

Donncha Ó Murchú

I was born and raised in Dublin. My parents are both fluent Irish speakers and are very active in promoting the language. We have a very musical household, as my mother and my sister are both very accomplished musicians. 

My father is originally from Wexford and has spent his life actively and creatively working on behalf of the Irish language, as a radio host, an editor and a published poet.
