    I don't speak it, but I do appreciate it from a cultural perspective, however this does not divert from the fact that only a small percentage of people speak it as a first language

    I always knew that Gaelic was the local language but I think I didn't have the exact idea how it is still strong (or maybe some have tried to keep it strong) which I think is beautiful

    Recently I was talking to a lady from somewhere near Galway and she said she learnt English when she was already a teenager, I was amazed. An Irish person to which English was a second language (as it is for me)

    I remember the first time I heard the Irish National Anthem, I had in mind that I was going to learn it... but I wasnt aware that it is in Gaelic... needless to say that I haven't learnt it in 5 years
