Ambassador shares a cúpla focail

BRITISH ambassador to Ireland Stewart Eldon is not averse to speaking a few words of Irish.

In fact, learning the lingo is one of the things he and wife Christine Mason did while hillwalking in Donegal over the summer.

Like many Britons, he is well aware what the word craic means and can just about get his tongue around cúpla focail but seisiún had him stumped.
