to speak irish then....you would have been considered a weirdo..
to look back as an old person living in the uk.....english would have served us better.......
to take an overall view......the money spent on the irish language.....could have been better spent in those days.....
and people could have still learnt it, if they wished...
to have it forced down childrens throats....on the end of a bamboo cane....which it was to different degrees around the country.....was barbaric......Here Rex!!!...Here Rex!!!.....Wuff!!!....... Wuff!!!

I had a schoolmaster who was a fluent Irish speaker. He told us one day that if he had the power he would make the use of Irish illegal. That surprised us until he said that if that was done nearly everyone would be taking classes and speaking it at every opportunity -- because we're Irish and don't take kindly to authority telling us what we should do and not do.
I think he was probably right.'Never look down on a person unless you're helping them up'.

language is a means of communicating.....how people wish to communicate....should be their own choice......
but as i said.......the no choice bit was in my opinion.......WRONG..Here Rex!!!...Here Rex!!!.....Wuff!!!....... Wuff!!!
