Cuairt ar Reilig Ghlas Naíon / Visit to Glasnevin Cemetery

Ár dtreoraí Paddy. Togh na Gaeilge aige, agus é lántoilteanach an turas a dhéanamh trí Ghaeilge. Ní gá ach a iarraidh.

Éire 2016 - Masla don Ghaeilge

Enda Kenny ag láinseáil comóradh 100 bliain Éirí Amach na Cásca 2016. Deir siad go mbeidh siad "ag onórú gach traidisiúin". Meastú an bhfuil aon rud sa phictiúr seo a thugann le fios go bhfuil siad ag insint bréig?

Ireland 2016 - No Irish Need Apply

Enda Kenny Launching the Irish Government's commemoration plans for the 100th anniversary of the Declaration of the Irish Republic. "All traditions will be honoured," says the committee. Do you see anything in this photograph that suggests they're lying?

Ireland 2016 - No Irish Need Apply

The Ireland 2016 website, set up to "respect all traditions", has an English-only interface. Why does this not surprise me?

Aer Lingus ag cur Gaeilge in Áit na Leithphingine . . . ARÍS!

Aerlíne "náisiúnta" is ea Aer Lingus, a fuair na milliúin Euro ó cháiníocóirí na hÉireann ó am a bhunaithe amach. Tá breis agus 25% de scaireanna an aerlíne fós i seilbh rialtas na hÉireann. Ach má tá, níl Aer Lingus sásta seirbhís a chur ar fáil i dteanga náisiúnta na hÉireann, fiú agus iad ag freastal ar chainteoirí Fraincise, Gearmáinise, Iodáilise, Spáinnise, Polainnise, agus Béarla.

CÁ BHFUIL AN GHAEILGE?

Arís - cén fáth a n-úsáidfinn an leagan Gaeilge?
Why would I use the Irish-language version?

Anti-Gaelic Discrimination

While hurrying for an American departure in Dublin Airport last week I heard the latecomers being paged on the terminal intercom. Reaching the gate several seconds later I humorously chided the gate agent for forgetting to call my name. "No," she said, "I saw your name, but it was in Irish, so I left it out."

I made my flight, and no damage done, but I returned to America amazed that casual acts of discrimination like this can still occur in Ireland without apology or consequence. Would the gate agent still have a job if she applied this policy to names in German?
