Gaelic and its survival 23/7/10
Sirs,
In recent times we have heard much on Gaelic and its survival problem.
Well, what do we know. i know this much, that Gaelic today is organised (if i can
call it that, maybe disorganised would be more appropriate) and totally taken over
by academics and the radio brigade thus have hi-
I know for a fact, as a true on the ground in your face real Gael, that we
have in the past 15 years or so been isolated by the academics with the way they do things, in other words its a big quango. It also stinks of left wing socialists to boot.
Enough said, maybe or maybe not, but I for one will go this far; it will not save my language and I am more than convinced that 90 % are more
concerned with their job security and their little groups than about the real truth of Gaelic in the community.
Money is OK under the right circumstances but it will not save Gaelic, a’ bhalaich,
but will -
I’ m afraid that the blinkers are on. Then again you can’t be negative
or truthful if your cheque or job security depends on such socialistic
Ideas.
