Actually, Gaelic is their first language. But modern Irish people are awfully uppity these days.

For most Irish, Gaelic is no more their “first language” than Cherokee is ours.

Be funny if they had to pass a test in French, though ;-).

I suppose these immigrants to Canada should be relieved that they are not also subjected to a test in their degree of fluency in Quebecois French, as well.

People who are native French scarcely understand it.
