Language marked for national day celebrations
A landmark anniversary for the Manx language was commemorated as part of this year's Tynwald Day.
Irish politician Eamon O'Cuive paid a visit here, seventy years after his grandfather - the former Taoiseach Eamon de Valera - came here to investigate our use of Gaelic.
Following the trip, he convinced Irish officials to invest in making recordings of the last surviving native Manx speakers.
Tynwald President Steve Rodan says De Valera's work was crucial to saving our native language - and that matters more than ever today:
£41K spent on encouraging people to shop local
Baton of Hope to come back to Isle of Man
CoC 'keen' for continuity of sidecar racing at TT
2026 Manx Grand Prix to begin today
