As a kid I naively asked my Mayo grandad born 1904 why he didn’t speak Irish and he said you couldn’t, the soldiers would beat anyone they heard using it

When they kill the language they kill the culture, same happened in Wales.

My mum and dad were bi-lingual before the Irish free state the language was all English if a Tennant farmer was heard speaking Irish they’d be thrown off their land. Once the free state was established mum and dad would have to speak Irish at school but spoke English at home. Tough times but they were tough people. Free Palestine 🇵🇸

I’m tracing my Irish family and found they were from Sligo. Fitzgerald. Now they live all over America. Came to New York. I’m still in NY. I dream of visiting Ireland. 💚

My Grandad was a Mayo man and a Gaeilge speaker. He taught me a little but I wish he were still here to teach me more.

How lovely to have this footage. My father was from Curry co. Sligo. He told me many stories about the troubles. He could speak Irish and never forgot it despite living in England for many years
