Isn't it great that they are all learning Irish? They be shite students though.
I wasn't convinced. It came across as very false - for the benefit of the TG4 audience, and i'm sure that was transparent to everyone.

They're all old enough to have learnt it at this stage, if they really had such a grá for the language. It's not even Dana's first time running for the post, so she clearly didn't care enough to learn it during the many intervening years.

She probably thought it wouldn't be needed in America.

You're some boy. Late as well as posting articles from the Sunday Indo - which is more anti Sinn Fein than a DUP newsletter.

So I dont get to vote for the President of my own country, try telling black people they cant vote in America, thats what its like to me!

Which America? North or south? Then which country, if you meant one in particular.

Not sure if nrodies can or not find a leagl lop hole to vote, but if you really want to moan / cry about it, get out there and do something for a change (anybody remember "why don't you"?)
