  2. I would put money on it that this was written by someone in the North, as when this person was young there was probably little to no Irish language on RTE whatsoever. Additionally, all road signs and government publication have been bilingual basically forever.

  4. More embarrassing that newspapers are so desperate they print this stuff.

  6. Bigot shocked to discover that bilingual nation is bilingual

  10. English is the only language that everyone in Ireland is forced to speak in their day to day and that is the reality.

  12. I always found the terms “nationalist” Vs “unionist” in relation to Northern Ireland very odd. After all, don’t these “nationalists” want to Unite with Ireland technically making them “unionist” whilst the self declared “unionists” wave union jacks and bang on about how great being British is therefore making them “nationalists” in the literal term of that word ?

  15. How can you write that and not see the irony of what you’re saying?

  16. “Like living in a totalitarian state” 🙄

    Spoken just like someone who’s never been anywhere near a totalitarian state lol

  17. So many errors in this, spelling, repeated phrases and missing words

  18. He’s doing what any self-respecting White Anglo Saxon does.

    Blame the people in the land they occupied for not being able to get the ride

  19. Ahhh lads. It’s clearly a piss take. Anyone who thinks this is serious is in need of a whack with a wooden spoon. The second letter looks to be equally tongue in cheek, though without the full text, harder to know.

  20. Imagine living a country for 400 years and being surprised about the existence of a local language.

  23. The language really creeps up on you. We were perfectly fine speaking indo European and then boom! Only 9000 years ago Irish out of nowhere.

  24. Dunno why you hid their name tbh. They wrote a letter to a newspaper and were proud enough of it to have their name printed.

  25. >Nationalists refuse to accommodate unionists

    What level of self entitlement and historical illiteracy is this?

  26. The Irish language. On the island of Ireland? Surely not! Assault on the eyes and ears, it is. Hahah f me.

  27. Multiple people had to approve this for it to be printed 😭

  28. I’m not the biggest fan of the Irish language being used ahead of English in practical scenarios…. But this article is just unhinged

  29. >DART rapid transit trains

    Dublin Area Rapid Transit rapid transit trains – sums up the quality of this piece.

  30. “My ears were assaulted…”

    “Then my eyes were assaulted…”

    This just sounds like he’s overstimulated on public transport. Buy some noise cancelling headphones you big child.

  31. The letter is a spoof, the author a spoofer, and the Newsletter is a pathetic rag for raging unionists.
