It really isn't.

Go hionraice níor chuala mé duine ar bith i gcúige uladh ar scor ar bith á úsáid sa dóigh sin . Tá sé iontach ciotach, sin mo thuairimse féin ach is fearr Gaeilge ar bith na Béarla lá ar bith

Níor chuala mise duine ar bith i gCúige Uladh ag rá "Athair s'againne atá ar neamh...." ar eagla go raibh droch-Ghaeilge in úsáid acu.

Ach is paidir í sin , ní caint na ndaoine

Is ionann an dá rud. Ní bheadh sé sa phaidir acu dá mbeadh sé mínadúrtha acu.

Rud caighdeánach is dócha chun na trí chanúint a tharraingt le chéile

Ní thuigim do phointe ar chor ar bith. Ar ndóigh, baintear úsáid as "s'agamsa" "s'agatsa" "s'aigesean" srl go minic i gCúige Uladh ach níl a dháth contráilte le "mo" "do" "a" nó cuid ar bith den aidiacht shealbhach.

Tá sé i gceart go caighdeánach ach ní hionann sin agus an dóigh a labhraítear an teanga sa chúige seo.

Below is the full quote from Claire Hanna on Talkback today re. whether or not it was a political event.

Now before reading it, bear in mind that the entire basis of her defence for going to the commemoration, throughout the interview, was that the event was NOT political (even though she praised Higgins for not attending as he felt the event was political).

"I spoke at the start about how there is an enormous amount of politics around this event, there's no about that. I don't believe it's a political event. I mean, everything is political. And yes there is politics around this."

So to sum up the SDLP position:
- Michael D was right to not go because he said it was a political event and we agree fully with him. That said, its OK for the SDLP to go because we actually don't believe it's a political event, even though we believe it is an event that has "an enormous amount of politics around it".

Clear as mud.

Is ionann! Deir daoine "mo hata" agus "hata s'agamsa". Deir siad "a mháthair" agus "máthair s'aige". Deir siad "ár muintir" agus "muintir s'againne".

Ní deir síad ár muintir sa chúige seo . Ar scor ar bith deas a bheith ag díospóireacht i mó theanga dúchais

Cad é faoi rudaí cosúil le "inár" nó "lenár"? Droch-Ghaeilge amach?

Speak about Gaelic stuff
Speak about it in your native language.

COLUM EASTWOOD THIS WEEK (ON ACCEPTING THE INVITATION TO THE COMMEMORATION):
"Given the choice between remaining in the trenches of the last 100 years or reaching out to build a new future, I know which side I want to be on"

COLUM EASTWOOD TWO WEEKS AGO (ON MICHAEL D DECLINING THE INVITATION TO THE COMMEMORATION):
"I would respectfully ask that those for whom this is disappointing reflect on the honest remarks made by President Higgins last night and understand the views of those for whom partition is not a cause for celebration or commemoration."


So Michael D was both right not to go, but is also
wrong for not going and is just stuck in his sectarian trench. Thanks for clearing that up, Colum.

Let's be honest, there's not one political party who doesn't talk shite.

It's probably because of that, that we are 100 years stuck in this place. Had there been a cohesive strategy by a political party (from the start) to bring partition down we might not be in this position of 'celebrating' .

So we don't have a united Ireland because of a failure of nationalism? That's almost like victim blaming and ignores the reality of how this place was governed. It was created and sculpted precisely to insure itself against any possibility of nationalist politics having an impact, let alone have the capacity to bring the state to an end.
