Irish speakers
December 11, 2013
Why do quite a number of Englishlanguage journalists think it is so smart and witty of them to show their ignorance of what it involves to be an Irish speaker?
It is not a hobby, it is not something I wish to practise twice a week for the craic, but it is every bit as intrinsic to my being as the colour of my skin. In this wonderfully diverse world of ours, a world where people are commended for defending their rights, are these totally unenlightened comments by Ian O’Doherty ( Irish Independent, December 9) acceptable?
