Not sure if it's still running, but TG4 had a hilarious series recently in which the presenter went around Ireland trying to hold conversations in Irish in everyday situations -- street, shops, pubs etc.
One review said he got mostly bemused or hostile responses. The only people who apologised for not being able to speak the language were those interviewed on the Shankill Road in Belfast.

Ta Gaelige maith agam , go hairithe i gcompairaid le mo chairde den aoise cheanna. ta me broduil den teanga ach nil me abalta iad a usuaid i mo saol .
Tá cúpla focal agamsa freisin. Bhfeidir gur cheart 'Thread' a thosnú i ngaeilge!
Actually, I forgot a bit!
It's Cumann Peil Coláiste Ollscoil na hÉireann Baile Átha Cliath, Ollscoil Náisiúnta na hÉireann Baile Átha Cliath, Baile Átha Cliath. And if someone knows the word for "Association football" as opposed to just "football", we'd get a bit longer again.
N'fheadar cad iad na leaganacha atá in úsáid ag TG4 fhéin agus níl sa mhéid atá idir lúibíní agam ach buille fé thuairim, ach oibrímse sa Bhrainse Logainmneacha agus is iad seo a leanas leaganacha cearta na logainmneacha, pé scéal é:

Hmm, Irish for "Association Football". Based on my memory of Irish teachers, it would translate as "Peil Úfásach Sasannigh"

That question was less stupid, though you asked it in a profoundly stupid way.

You're right but you need to say 'the Ramblers of Cobh' in Irish, so you have to use the genitive case of an Cóbh. Just like the Irish for Sligo is Sligeach, but Sligo Rovers in Irish is Ruagairí Shligigh, 'Rovers of Sligo'.
Cobh Ramblers would be <Whatever TG4 use for 'Ramblers'> an Chóibh.
Actually, in football-club terminology in England back in the day, 'Ramblers' and 'Wanderers' and 'Rovers' — insofar as they had any meaning at all — would have been pretty much identical in sense to one another (i.e., fánaithe), I would have thought. Ruagairí is more 'wild rovers' than 'rovers'; I'm not sure if that's what the gentlemen of Blackburn and the rest of them had in mind.
my irish isnt great but dont you pronounce it the way its spelt cobh ramblers our do you have to reverse it and say the ramblers of cobh, wouldnt that be confusing
people know more than me

That's nothing to do with how you pronounce it?
Irish is often structured the reverse of English. Hence, for example, fear an phoist - the man of the post - is postman.
fair enough i should have paid attention in school
