I don't honestly remember the last time I heard someone speak Irish to communicate, as opposed to speaking Irish simply to speak Irish. It's been years, certainly. Maybe that's because I live in Dublin, but I doubt it is very different in most of the country.

“All right,” said the Cat; and this time it vanished quite slowly, beginning with the end of the tail, and ending with the grin, which remained some time after the rest of it had gone.
Kevin Myers represents a national disorder.

Nothing wrong with a bit of historical research! Or should I say stair is taighde.
Myers is like a pseudo intellectual ED (Eamon Dunphy) and Dunphy is an enfant terrible of sorts to thick to be even a pseudo intellectual!

Ta se soleir i nGaillimh go bhfuil nios mo daoine ag caint an Teanga Naisuinta i ngach ait anois i gcuparoid le coupla blian o shin!

It is the way that the language is taught in schools is the problem. Making the language more relevant to todays life would make it easier for people to understand, learn and maybe use more often.
People developed a hatred of the language because of peig and sometimes the teachers they had didnt show the love of the language. I had a teacher in primary school who love the language and that passion transferred to me even to this day.
Another major issue is that those that want to speak the language have in most cases nobody else to speak with. In this situation the longer this happens the more and more you lose the ability to be able to have a conversation in the language. You are just left with the cupla focail.

I discovered a while ago,people in their twenties have no knowledge of Peig.
I'll now,bhain usaid as mo chuid Gaeilge "liofa lofa".
Mo leithsceil dos na Gaeilgoiri.
Ta se soileir dom go bhfuil daoine ina a bhifichidi gan eolas ar bith faoi Pheig.
Tabhar Peig duinn fuinneog ar saol ata imithe.Is sort "document" e an leabhar ar saol an Ghaeltacht agus saol Eireannach ins na 1800's agus na "early" 1900's ata thart.
Leirinn an leabhar sin tabhacht an fharraige i gnathshaol an toileanach.
Tugann se leargas duinn ar abhar mar-arranged marriages,the importance of storytelling and visiting peoples' houses in the evening for entertainment pre the era of tv,radio etc,going into service with farmers or whatever.
No need to hate Peig anymore than "Anna Karenina" or "Tess of the D'Urbrevilles".
Sin e,mo chuid thuairim ar aon nos.
Ta me anseo mar nil rud ar bith ag taisteal ar na "threadanna" eile.
Cad ina thaobh mar sin?
Bfeidir go bhfuil daoine ag obair go dian ar son na tire.
Is sort ceist "rhetorical" e sin.
Ar aon nos tugann an suiomh seo deis dom mo chuid Gaeilga bochta a chleachtadh nuair a bhfuil me brean don truflais ata ar na suiomhanna eile.
Ach beigean dom dul ag obair me fein anois.
Nil moran agam le phle briomharach.
Ta se in ann me fein a bogadh ar aghaidh.
