"Under British rule, Irish was prohibited in schools" nip in the bud - missionary vision Why this isn't a surprise to an Indian like me, a sad tale of every colonised land on this planet. As Trevor Noah says, if there is one country that has no moral right to complain about immigration...... At least the immigration can be classified as legal or illegal. What the English did to others is pure evil.

He did live in the back arse of nowhere so that would explain that lol my old man used to bring me back there during the summer holidays and I’d stay for a month. My grandmother had 5 clocks in the living room where I slept on the couch. The sound of those clocks will haunt me forever. They lived around 8k of the main road, which was actually a dirt road up until the mid 90s.

My grandmother arrived in US about 1922 as only a Gaelic Speaker being born in Claughan Donegal. She learned English, although, I had to interpret it for Americans. She was basically my mother but never taught me Gaelic, for which I never knew why. I would ask her. But later, she sadly got dementia & could only speak Gaelic again. I felt alienated at 13 by the only one I was close to. No one could understand verbally what her needs were.

To play devil’s advocate, it makes sense why there aren’t tours of Dublin scheduled in Irish. Tourism, pretty much by definition, is targeted at foreigners. There probably aren’t many tours of Vilnius that are given in Lithuanian either for example; you probably can find tours of Vilnius given in languages like Bearla or Russian though, because those are languages spoken by people who are foreigners to Lithuania. Still, we gotta revive Irish. I’m trying to learn.

It's worth bearing in mind that they didn't speak French in most of France until relatively recently. And the same for Italian in Italy. Even the English spoke a celtic language before their ruling classes changed at the start of the dark ages. And if you go back far enough celtic was an invading and replacing language in Ireland. It stamped out the indigenous language that was there before it. It's been a continual and chaotic rotation thru the ages.

The Great (meaning catastrophic) Irish Potato famine of 1847 drastically reduced the # of Gaelic speakers in Ireland. Many of them died. Many of them migrated. There were Irish migrants who came to USA and Canada knowing no English.
