Irish language Tweeter Chris Hadfield plans to visit Dublin upon return from space

Seanmór agus WoundedKnee! Your in danger of becoming the Statler and Waldorf of IrishCentral, those old guys on the Muppet Show who had nothing good to say about anyone or anything. It's irrelevant how many Irish speak Irish in Ireland. What matters is how often either or both of you do. Már sín, ná bí ag magadh na Bríotanach Síarach mar nach raibh síad ábalta an Gaeilge a laibhart. Tá Clúb Gaelach sa Colaiste na Tríonoide, an raibh a fíos aige.

This guy is in for a let-down. He won't hear a word of Irish in the streets of Ireland. On another point, I wrote earlier that I was the only poster with fluent Irish, yet I was attacked for being "anti-" Irish. I forget Seanmor, obviously a strong speaker of the language. Gabhaim pardún, a Sheáin, rinne me dearmad glan ort.

Mr Hadfield should be careful about speaking Irish in the capital of the Irish state lest he bring contemt and ridicule on himself from politions and others in high places who like to disparage and condemn that state's official language. Go mbeannaí Dia Hadfield agus go n-éirí an bóthar leis.
