Do you really think so? I don't.
The Celtic language is one of the four indigenous languages of Europe (Latin, Greek and German are the other three.) The Irish are an OLD people and will survive and thrive.
I've been there and I loved it.
What made it interesting is that in 99% of the world people just don't want to talk to tourists. They want to mind their own business. The Irish, however, like to talk with the foreigners. What a refreshing change it was for me.
I'd go back there in a New York minute.
I meant in a political sense. We were going to be going to Ireland this summer but unfortunately the trip got canceled we hope to try again next year.
