Sections of our society want you to forget this Culture/History...

[@billnicks2362]

Sure always blame the "other" Noel. Our culture has been in our own hands for over a century now and we are just as responsible for its decline. Agus cén fáth nach scríobh tú an rud sin go léir as Gaeilge?

Who's idea was it to make Iarla sing the English parts. He would've been way better on Gaelic.
