I cant play any instrument. My Irish is pretty bad.(in fact many volunteers only learnt Irish in jail, Dessie Ellis ran a gaeltacht on the republican wing in Portlaoise) If one does not satisfy the above criteria are they, in your book, not Irish?

Dionysus wrote: » At least have the decency to know why Britain is giving "us" this money. The way some people talk you'd swear the British created the greatest empire in world history by being nice to people for the sake of it. Britain is giving Ireland the money because the British state has companies with enormous investments in Ireland. It wants to protect those investments. Basic cop-on. There's nothing altruistic about it or, for that matter, bad about their motivations. It's simple business. Don't try to dress it up as charity when it's nothing of the sort.

Self So you want an Ireland in which everyone speaks Irish, plays GAA and dances at crossroads? What will we do with all those people up north who call themselves British?

lugha wrote: » Conversely I do, or did, play GAA, at inter-county level as a yound lad, I am very partial to Irish music, though alas I cannot play. Not over bothered about the Irish language (though I ebb and flow a bit on it) but that is largely down to the zealous way it is promoted. Moral of the story: Trying to establish some sort of stock definition of what makes an Irish person is plainly daft.
