Yeah the older generation speak it especially in Galway ,i think the last gaeltacht is located in Galway,when i was a kid we were camping in Galway i tried to speak Gaelic to a barman he could not understand one word i said and i could not understand him either...
I believe the Gov invests money to keep the language alive,but as newer generations come along,they lose interest in learning it..
That is a very interesting story regarding 911...

Thank you. I cannot stress how accomodating and sympathetic the Irish were to us in the aftermath of 9/11, not that they were unkind before! Total strangers would approach us on the street and offer condolences. It was an odd feeling to be out of our own country at such a time of tragedy, but we were the recipients of Cead mile failte romhat!
