The Irish Language Joke

Just wanted to draw your attention to an excellent post on the Irish Language by An Spáilpín Fánach.

Earlier I wrote a couple of pieces on the same theme. Here is one.

And a post on the Gaeltacht.

Go raibh maith agat as ucht an nasc a Thomaltaigh.

Seo ceist ar bhuail orm inniu, agus mise ag dul isteach sa bhaile ar thóir an lóin - nuair a scríobhann daoine go labhraíonn siad Gaeilge go rialta, an í an Ghaeilge sa fhógra seo atá i gceist acu? D'fhreagrófaí alán ceisteanna más í. Agus bhrisfí roinnt croithe, ar ndóigh.

We have to ask ourselves firstly what we want to achieve for Irish in the country. Then we have to ask ourselves how that can be achieved. Then we do the work.

You mighten't agree with everthing I said in it but here is an e-pamphlet I put together on chur chun cinn na Gaeilge. I should add to that that the language should be optional for the L. Cert and that the money spent on Irish should be audited so that we get value for money.
