What is the germ of it all? The criminal carelessness of every class in Ireland to the real interests of the nation.

By preserving Gaeilge, we preserve a unique perspective on the world, a perspective that is rooted in the landscapes and traditions of Ireland.

My Irish isn’t clean, my grammar doesn’t gleam
In this soft light, but I still like
It’s punctuality, musicality, the spirituality with which we once spoke
My mother’s tongue was cut from my throat
