Hi Pepe, I'm a night owl. I normally sleep from 2.00/2.30 until 8.30/9.00 on Friday/Saturday & Saturday/Sunday.

Now, I'm woefully ignorant on this, so please forgive the dumb question... but

Fergus & Sean, did either your generation or your kids learn any Gaelic in school in Dublin? My impression was that it was only really an active language around Kerry and Galway? Is there a movement to make it more widespread these days?

Thanks...

I usually go to bed around 11:30 because my Newfoundland insists on being walked around 5:30 AM., especially in the summer.

Oh do not get me started on the Irish language please! Suffice it to say that Irish children have to do Irish throughout the entire primary and secondary level schooling and in my view is not taught well. Some people love it and then there are people like me. ;) I should say no more. My eldest struggled with it and my youngest found it easy but doesn't like it.

And now I am going to have a glass of one of Ivor's lovely red. :)
