I'm done with you. You are obviously trying to change the narrative to suit you as you are attempting to discuss something you painfully obviously know nothing about. Good luck.

What are you shiting on about, what% would I put it at? I'm pretty sure that's not how stats work. According to the official figures from the census in 2022..

• Almost 1.9 million people (aged three years and over) stated they could speak Irish, an increase of more than 112,500 people since Census 2016 (+6%).

Your last paragraph is a question that hasn't been asked. It's not relevant to this thread. Nobody asked about a minority language. While you and some others may dispute the existence or relevance of the Irish language, that is Irrelevant.

Yeah, keep coming with the bullshit. Okay hyperbole it is.

But history isn't really relevant? 🤔🙄 I've read some twats in my time, but that...

Your last paragraph would be a different thread. Fuck off and make that one if it makes you happy, but it's not the same as the OP.

A few centuries? It wasn't until 2006 that the British government gave the Irish language a legal status in Northern Ireland. But, to date there has been no political progress on passing an Irish Language Act there.

This followed the Good Friday Agreement in 1998 with the British government committed to “recognise the importance of respect, understanding and tolerance in relation to linguistic diversity … including the Irish language”.

I'm pretty sure it is owned, just has obstacles still in place by the same people that attempted to force people to stop using it, and succeeded for the most part. The recentness of both of those milestones shows that. It also shows that it is not the same thing as your example.

It makes perfect sense, in fact more sense to use the native language that is still used, in a visual like this. Nobody raging about colonialism here, but some cunts are very easy to see when they try to dispute any native culture. Especially when it's for no other reason but to be a cunt. A stupid one at that. "Literally nobody speaks it" literally.. Yeah.. 🙄

Nobody said otherwise. The Irish language is the language of Ireland. As mentioned, only a certain creed would dispute that. Also as mentioned, it is used and dominant due to coercion. Of course history is relevant.

It's Irrelevant how much you think people may remember what they learned.

It doesn't change that Irish is still our language. English is the language that we use due to coercion. The petty remark was in relation to the amount of people who "claim" to speak some of it. Considering it was compulsory in schools until fairly recently, I wouldn't find that unbelievable.

The map says "how people react when you try to speak their language" Irish is the native language of Ireland. No matter how many people try to say otherwise even with the petty "people claim to speak it"

The Irish language is also in the middle of big revival after the British had criminalised it for centuries and tried to kill it. The fact that it still survives is a testament to the people. It is still considered Irelands language, and I know only a handful of a people of a certain creed that would say otherwise or try to dispute it, and they wouldn't be considered Irish imho.

Ireland is incorrect. The majority would be blue or red.

Neyanyahu and all of those who take glee in torturing the poor people in Gaza. There are so many to arrest. The governments that have stood aside and let this happen should be held accountable too. Israel has used up it's pity credits long ago, and they had everything in their favour. True colours shining now.

Will do. I'm home in about 30 minutes and going to sit down and look at both. Thanks.

Thanks, didn't realise that they had a wallet. I know about the CEO, last I read (a while ago) he was trying to explain that it was a misunderstanding or taken out of context etc. Will have a look at it.
