It's weird to see someone from the UK champion the Irish language as a choice as if they didn't try to systematically wipe it from the face of the earth for quite a long period of time.

Choice is good of course so do keep up the good work.

My grandad's family on my dad's side was driven out of Dublin by some folks who went on to set their house on fire, back in the day. They were warned off by a maid and legged it to England. A few generations earlier, on the same line, my ancestors were German immigrants to London.

I will upvote your comment nonetheless. I see it has been DVd which I don't like to see - we all have our views.

Incidentally. "WN" is quite well documented. Was there something similar in Ireland, before independence?
