English is an official language too, the dominant one which is used day-to-day and understandable by the (vast) majority. History isn’t really relevant.
Aye they probably know as much Irish as the average person who took German or French in school remembers, fuck all.
Nobody said otherwise.
The Irish language is the language of Ireland. As mentioned, only a certain creed would dispute that.
Also as mentioned, it is used and dominant due to coercion. Of course history is relevant.
It’s Irrelevant how much you think people may remember what they learned.
It makes perfect sense, in fact more sense to use the native language that is still used, in a visual like this.
Nobody raging about colonialism here, but some cunts are very easy to see when they try to dispute any native culture. Especially when it’s for no other reason but to be a cunt. A stupid one at that. “Literally nobody speaks it” literally…
Yeah… 🙄
What are you shiting on about, what% would I put it at? I’m pretty sure that’s not how stats work.
According to the official figures from the census in 2022…
Almost 1.9 million people (aged three years and over) stated they could speak Irish, an increase of more than 112,500 people since Census 2016 (+6%).
Your last paragraph is a question that hasn’t been asked. It’s not relevant to this thread.
Nobody asked about a minority language. While you and some others may dispute the existence or relevance of the Irish language, that is Irrelevant.
That is how stats work. What % of the population is fluent in Irish. 5-10% is the figures I can see.
Irish is the minority language, speaking to the average person in the minority language would result in them asking you to speak in the majority language. Since the average person doesn’t speak the minority language.

Yeah, keep coming with the bullshit. Okay hyperbole it is.
But history isn’t really relevant? 🤔🙄 I’ve read some twats in my time, but that…
Your last paragraph would be a different thread. Fuck off and make that one if it makes you happy, but it’s not the same as the OP.
I literally gave the stats in my original comment ya eejit
You didn’t answer, what %?
My last paragraph isn’t a different thread, it’s illustrating how daft it’d be to ask someone about a minority language for the OP.
