Don't be so stupid, Bobby, it is NOT the fault of foreign migrants that some guy had a stroke. What a dumb thing to say. Though perhaps if you had a stroke you'd wake up talking sense!

Bobby--Foreign migrants in Ireland are to blame for someone having a stroke? Don't be such an idiot.

I speak rudimentary Irish and I hope if I ever have a stroke that I'll come out of it speaking in fluent Irish.

To this very day I speak conversational French with a Parisian accent because a very good (Irish-American, by the way) French teacher of mine way back in the day spoke French with a Parisian accent. "Nothing else will do", Mr. Holihan told us blue collar boys at Power Memorial Academy. (I don't know what this commenthas to do with the subject of this article, either.)

donal1951>>Prasie God he was in Ireland? Well, if he was in an Irish hospital today he'd need to know Urdu or Tagalog, Irish would be no use to him.

My father, born in Galway
near the turn of the 20th century
was bilingual as a child, speaking
Irish and English. He emigrated
and for lack of use lost his Irish.
During the final stages of the
dementia that took his life, he
could not speak English, only
Irish. Praise God he was in
hospital in Ireland.

I can just hear the old jokes being resurrected now "How do you turn an Englishman into a Welshman?"
"Cut out part of his brain"
