Roll out the pork barrel
The Irish genius for lip service strikes again. In a bid to revive a language few people understand, the government pursuades the EU to translate all its stuff into Irish; a great way to get people reading it.
Plenty of dissenting views, and a long debate on Slugger O'Toole.
For me though, any language in which the word for rat and Frenchie are the same* deserves all the help it can get.
* Spelled francach and Fhrancaigh respectively. Francach pertains to official French things which will soon resemble to proverbial sinking ships.

Only one 'l' in barrel, you illiterate, xenophobic little nonce.
typos, dear boy, typos. As for xenophobia, I dislike everyone equally. Perhaps your time would be better employed complaining to the body which standardised the Irish language in the middle of the last century.
Although the example I cited may be Munster Irish. I really don't know.
