Taoiseach Bertie Ahern has a bit of a reputation for mangling the English language. Could he have done it again?
On RTE’s 6.1 News on Thursday 14th June, Bryan Dobson interviewed An Taoiseach, in advance of the announcement of his new cabinet.
Towards the end of the interview Dobson asks what the Government’s priorities will be for the next 5 years. Bertie Ahern speaks about the economy and finishes on the need to help the less well off in society.
His final sentence in the interview ends with the words “and we’ll continue to make great strides to deal with the issue of social exclusiveness”.
Could he possibly have meant “social exclusion”?
