“What Minister Joe McHugh said made me see that Gaelic is not dying, rather it is growing in places such as America,” said recent MMI graduate and member of the Gaelic Club, Charles Lampman. Today, the MMI Gaelic Club along with Dr. Rankin Sherling, had the pleasure of meeting with Minister Joe McHugh, a prominent Irish politician, who took time out of his busy schedule to meet with our cadets and encourage them to continue their studies of the Irish language and culture. Minister McHugh is a member of the Irish Prime Minister's Cabinet and is the Chief Party Whip. He made a special trip to Oideas Gael (the language college) specifically to meet with Dr. Sherling and the cadets after learning about their Irish program at MMI. #morethanamilitarycollege #studyaboard #language #history #culture #irish #irishamericans #gaelic #militarycollege #politics #travel #traveltuesday #highereducation #alabama #college #ireland
