The incredible language rights activist, teacher and MBE Linda Ervine, founder of Turas project in East Belfast, talks to Jools about her roots, and the routes that led to the innovative Turas project that breaks barriers and advances reconciliation in Ireland through the Irish language. 
Her story is an incredible story of passion, ability, teaching and reconciliation in the midst of a community that would (until recently) given little credibility (if any) to one of their own learning and teaching Irish. She also takes the time to correct Jools’s attempts at a chat in Irish!
