Nice soft day here. Raining most of the night and the top of the ground isn't even being marked. Hopefully a few days of this here but I should have enough grass to keep me going till the middle of next month after this.

Bales postponed again:)

Yeah, only an hour and we have friends not far from him if anything goes wrong as well.

I ofter wondered why the Meath gaeltacht doesn't do courses like this or maybe it does?

I went to it...I found it extremely poorly organised,
On the first day we were dropped at the house and told to be at the hall at 3...so a dozen 14-16 yo lads that had never been there before nobody that knew the way back to town or how long it would take(we assumed we were getting picked up again), no cinneara in the house.

I came home still thinking English which didn't happen at any other Gaeltacht I went to

I often wonder too. Maybe because the Western counties have first dibs since most Irish teachers hail from there and they want to support their local economy :rolleyes:

Maybe because most families who were land comissioned from the Gaeltacht weren't made feel welcome in their new addresses

Do they still speak Irish in Meath?

I wonder what happened the people who owned the land before the commission took it on for a project.
Hardly surprising that there wouldn't be resentment especially from the native Meath people. Only human nature.

I don't know about other areas but here in NCD they were more than welcomed and integrated/married within us locals. I have attended a few weddings of "Kerry" sons/daughters with us outcasts over the years and it was pure pleasure to see set dancing & listen to fiddles/pipes/whistles/spoons playing etc.

I'd hope things have improved in the fifty years since then She seems to be enjoying it.

In Meath yes they went up from Connemara mostly,Westmeath got a lot from Mayo achill mainly.
Most of the land owners had the land taken from them by the land commission and given bonds for them which were totally worthless.Some were just large farms divided and the amount of land given depended on the rent e.g. 40acs and 65acs.

Thought I was on the wrong thread there for a moment with only talk of Geailge and no mention of all the water that fell in the last 24 hours.
Rain of almost biblical proportions here in the mid west. The topping I was planning on doing might have to wait.
