The housing crisis could lead to the “death” of the Irish language, protesters said outside Leinster House on Tuesday.

The demonstration was held by a coalition of campaign groups outside the Houses of the Oireachtas to highlight the “disproportionate” impact the shortage of affordable housing is having on Gaeltacht areas.
