The Irish language is pretty cool in itself. What annoys me though is the negative attitude that many people have against it.

Then again I cant blame them since successive governments do sfa to redress the way its thought in schools doing it a huge damage.

come to think of it....Jesus Holy, cant wait for these shower to go. Unbelievably incompetent

Article in the Independent today talks about our stance on we are Irish, but mainly not English and that is the sole reason the Irish language is still around. Cos it makes us not English I do not know enough to hold a 1 minute conversation. At best I could of managed a 3 minute one once. Maybe in 6th class.

In those situations, always make sure you have a packet of coiscini in yer pocket, in case you get lucky.
