Speaking in the chamber, Mr McGinn noted there was still no headstone on Ms Keane’s grave two and a half years after her death aged 73. The Irish words he spoke are the same five which the family wants inscribed on Ms Keane’s headstone. It should lead to a better understanding of the Irish language and the Gaelic tradition in Britain. Bez Martin, Ms Keane’s daughter, told independent.ie the family were “overwhelmed” by the support for their campaign.
