@gearoidoriain86 If you want to be a real Gael you should be pagan not some identity imported from the Brits!

@DarrenMClancy @crimthann @clocrisis You don't learn Munster Irish in school, you learn the standardised version. Gaelainn is the word used in the Munster Gaeltachts

[Lotra @Lotra_Sm]

@clocrisis Me and all the Irish people disagreeing with you, as well as native speakers from the Gaeltachts are ok with saying Gaelic. Gaeilge isn't even used in Munster Irish so if you grew up in a Gaeltacht you wouldn't even call it Gaeilge yourself

[Lotra @Lotra_Sm]

@clocrisis People also are ok with Gaelic because it's the native speakers from all over Ireland that call it Gaelic when speaking English. Youre right that no one really does outside of the Gaeltachts, but theyre the ones keeping Irish alive we should listen to them

@clocrisis When people say Gaelainn is used in Munster, they mean in the Munster Gaeltachts because they're the ones that actually speak Munster Irish, the Irish most people speak that calls it Gaeilge is just the standardised version.

@clocrisis @Lambert2191 Britain is just the island, anyone from the island is British. Even in Irish the word for Wales is An Bhreatain Bheag

[Lotra @Lotra_Sm]

@clocrisis Gaeilge isn't Munster Irish though, that's what people call it because they're not native speakers. The Irish you learnt in school isn't Munster Irish

[Lotra @Lotra_Sm]

@nazzobetweeting @xpstudiosp @nikicaga Nobody is saying otherwise

Martin Green dice que lo de NY Times es solo un artículo hablando de un país que no ganó #Eurovision el año pasado.

En estas sucias manos estamos.

@eurovisionbrent @KlausEsc33 I mean I would say it's pretty hurt already

@nikicaga Rules broken:

Government funded ads ✅

Suppression of free press (journalists targeted in attacks) ✅

Political involvement (held discussions on Ebu vote for Israel's inclusion in the president's residence and involved embassies) ✅

Delegation creating hostile environment ✅

@Lunatic9Fringe @DarthJarJack @nikicaga This isnt the result of the whole election, this is the result for one seat that was won by the green party. So they get 100% of the seats after only getting 20% of the vote.

If this happened in every area, a party could have a super majority even tho 80% didn't want them

[Lotra @Lotra_Sm]

@LinkofSunshine This is still the case too, there's literally no investment being put into the west to get people to move there, so as people continue to leave the irish-speaking areas the language is only going to decline further.

But nobody cares because Kneecap made Irish cool again :D

[Lotra @Lotra_Sm]

@cluaidh_ @LinkofSunshine It's true though and it's still happening? We didn't start the decline but we've done nothing to end it either. It's been 100 years and still no investment is being put into Irish speaking areas and people continue to leave them

[Lotra @Lotra_Sm]

@nikicaga The question Irish people are afraid to ask. Even now people sing about the amazing revival the language is going through now when in reality the Gaeltachts are still dying

[Lotra @Lotra_Sm]

@SunriseEnjoyer @nikicaga That immigration wasn't happening 100 years ago when the language continued declining after independence

[Lotra @Lotra_Sm]

@RayMcGrath @mochagrandeeee If you can accept that the white middle-class English people got it from black people why can't you accept that the white Irish middle-class people got it from those same black people?

Kinda funny the way conservatives use NGO like a slur but are the ones championing small government
