Although the issue of the survival of the Irish language and other
Celtic languages (apart from from Breton) is related to the
attitudes and policies of the British government, I must also
complain that this is NOT the group to discuss political doctrine
in.
The language has for too long been a political issue and it would
be nice if it was something that united rather than divided my
fellow countrymen and women. I didn't have the opportunity to learn
Gaelic at school as I am not a Catholic and was, in retrospect,
very annoyed about it. I have since started to learn and subscribe
to this group in the (vague) hope of seeing some Gaelic (or other
Celtic) language topics discussed in it.

Go raibh mile maith agaibh.
Slainte mhaith,
Andy
