The map (click to enlarge) shows the current state of the Gaeltachtaí (all-Irish speaking areas) in our country.
The ‘green’ areas will become even smaller if the current report into where Irish is and isn’t being spoken isn’t acted upon.

When I was younger I never thought twice of flashing my lights to warn oncoming traffic of an impending speed trap.
Not anymore.
Posted May 3, 2008 Comments(6) As part of our hill walking excursion day we toured a little of the area.
We arrived at Kilmackillogue.
I got a few nice shots of the pub and the pier which I’ll post later.
Posted May 3, 2008 Comments(4) It was a great decision to take Friday off.
The day was a little overcast but no sign of rain.
My walking companion was delayed so the starting time was pushed out as well.

I hate people who don’t approve my comment when I’ve taken the time to comment on their blog!
I wouldn’t mind if I had blasted them out of it but I hadn’t!

I was listening to ‘Morning Ireland’ on Radio One on my way to work this morning.
I heard Pascal Sheehy, R.T.E.’s Southern Reporter, talking about the terrible burning of a 13 year old boy in Cork.
The boy and his friends had been inhaling petrol vapours from plastic bottles.
