Last Tuesday without any notice, Vodafone Ireland discontinued their service to the most remote parts of south west connemara leaving the most isolated irish speaking folks without any contact with the outside world.

OP, welcome to boards, if you wish to leave this discussion open then I suggest you turn it into a discussion fairly promptly, otherwise it's just a statement. Please familiarise with the After Hours forum and charter.

They must of not used the service much if it got cut off, i mean if there speaking Irish they would not be on the phone much to the rest of Ireland as no one would understand them.

Surely it's a good thing? People are too obsessed with their phones nowadays. It's all facebebo and instatwitter. Now people will have to have face to face conversations and so on and so forth. I envy them.

Not really. They can continue to speak in their strange animal hoots or whatever passes for a dialect in 'very remote Connemara'.

Excuse me, not everybody here started mocking.

I, for one, started to fap vigorously.

Only lifeline?

Were they getting their food and water over the Vodafone broadband network?

It's a handful of people, who truth be told can't stand the rest of the country anyway.
