It was the Gaelic League that was the beginning of reclaiming the national spirit in Ireland and leading on to Independence.

Tá brón orm nach bhfuil mé sa mbaile. Mar ba mhaith liom a beith ag dul libh. I'm sorry I'm not around because I'd like to be with you. We really must meet up when I get back Stephen. I didn't tell you this before, but I'm a native Irish speaker. Was raised and educated through Gaeilge. I'm a bit rusty though as I haven't spoken it for many years. My siblings would look crooked at me if I spoke it. Ha ha, they look crooked at me anyway for my views on the world. Tá súil agam go mbeidh am iontach agaibh. I have this belief that if the Gaeilge was written in the old cló (script), it would be much easier to learn, slán go fóill xxx

I am only Irish by marriage and don't have the language - and I live across the Irish Sea. But I wish you well with your community rebuilding. Ireland has spent so many centuries under the rule of entities that have abused her, and her people. It is time for rebuilding a society based on love and mutual support.
