He may as well be trying to order stamps talking Irish or Swahili in the GPO!

A siege mentality is the price one pays for dubious title deeds. Like the wealthy in their pearly gated communities who end up imprisoning themselves due to their ill gotten gains. Karma will out! Like orthodox Jews bobbing and weaving at the western wall of the second Jerusalem temple, King William's men parade ad infinitum, like lost dogs chasing tails that cannot be caught. "Thought crime does not entail death. Though crime IS death!" George Orwell, 1984.

warrenpoint: “we do not have to do that to prove our identity”? Lol….this whole website is a monument to your cultural insecurity and pathological need for attention from those you seem to hate (the British). I suggest you grow up before it’s too late.

Willy Hamilton, you paint a very pleasant picture, of a very endearing and simple people, the Irish .Not at all like the british of which you are a subject, that participates in murder ,rape ,sodomy ,flag waving beer drinking ,goofy bagpiping, public urination and church protesting ,all in a manner to proclaim their britishness on the twelfth day of July every year in that endearing island of Ireland.Why do you have to do that.?Inferiority, maybe, uneducated, low self esteem,no culture.I think you british guys are just jealous of the Irish William, we do not have to do that to prove our identity.Bye,bye Will.

Any park would be far superior to your carnival of fools on the TWALFTH. Clowns wearing bowler hats and banging Lambegh drums. My grandsons could keep a better beat than those fools.

Along with the illusion that Irish people talk, Irish Plastic Paddies are also programmed to assume that anyone "back home" (sic) who doesn't fit the Darby O'Gill image of Ireland must be from somewhere other than the Republic of Botched (1922 to present). Americans who live with the delusion of being Irish need to build themselves a fantasy amusement park island east of Queens. They can call it the Emerald Isle and fill it with red haired girls who wear knitted socks and go to Mass every Sunday. The annual festival could have coffin ship races, brown bread throwing contests and English bashing. Of course all this would be presided over by their Emperor the Pope who would deliver his annual address in Irish.

"The people who killed the Irish language, and who continue to wilfully ignore it everyday in Ireland, are the Irish." That may be unpalatable to lots of us, but it's true. As a columnist in today's Dublin Irish Times pointed out, this Canadian astronaut used more Irish in space than most Irish use in a year.

I think some long overdue compassion
is what's needed by the Irish, not
continual browbeating, Woundedknee.

The people who killed the Irish language, and who continue to wilfully ignore it everyday in Ireland, are the Irish. It's amazing how Plastic Paddies who delude themselves into something they're not can't handle anything that does not tally with the delusional version of Ireland they've been fed. Irish people do not speak Irish, don't want to speak Irish and will never in the future use it as a daily language. It's a dead limb that the Irish language Nazi's insist on dragging from one century into the next. If Ireland did not speak English it would have had a much harder time attracting foreign companies and emigrating from the failed Republic would have been even harder. The natives, bar the Irish language Nazi's, figured that out a long time ago. Those who want to speak it should pay for it instead of shoving the bill into everyone else's pocket.
