Answer 2

I live in what's known as a Gaeltacht area where Irish is spoken every day.I have three sons who are fluent in Gaeilge and went to schools were they were taught entirely in Irish.In the shops and pubs around where I live you are far more likely to hear people conversing as Gaeilge than in English.Mass is said in Irish,indeed it's the first language of the vast majority.Even though my sons are off in Dublin and Australia they would speak with their friends who are with them in Irish.

Answer 3

The simple answer is it is spoken in all aspects of life and with out it well What would ireland be

Tír gan teanga, tír gan anam

A COUNTRY WITH OUT A LANGAGE IS A COUNTRY WITH OUT A NAME.

Answer 4

No one speaks Gaelic, dear. However Irish, Gaeilge or Erse is still spoken in the Gaeltacht areas of Cork, Kerry, Clare, Galway, Mayo and Donegal, and probably more besides.

Gaelic is what is spoken in Scotland.

Answer 5

it's spoken when it is horribly forced down the throats of students in schools,it's thaught very badly

and apart from in gaelscoilenna and in the gaeltacht irish is spoken quite infrequently

and in respone to what the answerer above said,not every teacher has to speak irish,only primary teachers and irish teachers at second level do,
