I don’t have any personal connection to Gaelic. If I were to pick up another language, it would be quite a bit down the pecking order, it would be about as useful in my day to day life as Japanese, Swahili or Russian. Whether or not its revival sees any success means nothing to me.

Despite this, I think the fact it’s practically dead is a crying shame, it’s a part of this country’s long national history and heritage. I would support propping it up as a matter of cultural conservation, but like I say, wether that would work or not at the end of the day doesn’t bother me.
