	Irish language
		Irish has recently received a degree of formal recognition in Northern Ireland, under the Good Friday Agreement alongside a small minority language called Ulster Scots (though some critics have questioned whether Ulster Scots is a language or merely a dialect of Lowland Scots).
		Munster Irish is spoken in the Gaeltachtaí of Kerry (Ciarraí), Coolea (Cúil Aodha) in the western part of County Cork (Contae Chorcaí), and the tiny pocket of Irish-speakers near Dungarvan (Dún Garbháin) in County Waterford (Contae Phort Láirge).
		However, Keating's Irish was soon ousted by popular dialects especially championed by the priest and native speaker from the Coolea-Muskerry area, Peadar Ó Laoghaire, who in the 1890s published, in a serialised form, a folkloristic novel strongly influenced by the storytelling tradition of the Gaeltacht, "Séadna".

		The minister said Mayo Rehab was giving us the opportunity to give the Irish immigrants of Coventry a chance of a better quality of life, a life less lonely and isolated.

	Liam Cosgrave Summary
		His action provoked the minister for defense, Paddy Donegan, to label the president as "a thundering disgrace." O'Dalaigh interpreted the refusal of Cosgrave to dismiss a cabinet member who had made a partisan attack on the apolitical office of the presidency as grounds for himself to resign, which he did on October 22, 1976.
		Liam Cosgrave (Irish name Liam Mac Cosgair) (born 13 April, 1920), served as the fifth Taoiseach of the Republic of Ireland between 1973 and 1977 and was the son of W.T. Cosgrave, Head of Government from 1922 to 1932).
		Liam's son Liam T. Cosgrave is also an Irish politician who was accused before the Mahon Tribunal of accepting illegal payments from property developers in return for voting to rezone property in Dublin: he resigned from the Fine Gael party when this became known, thereby effectively ending his political career and the Cosgrave political dynasty.

		Galway is the fastest growing city in Europe, he said, but development was leading to commuter-belt sprawl into rural areas that could "devastate" the Gaelic-speaking districts.

	Irish Language - Irish Nationalism (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Irish (Gaeilge) is a Goidelic language spoken in Ireland.
		Munster Irish is spoken in the Gaeltachtaí of Kerry (Ciarraí), Coolea (Cúil Aodha) in the western part of County Cork (Contae Chorcaí), and the tiny pocket of Irish-speakers in An Rinn near Dungarvan (Dún Garbháin) in County Waterford (Contae Phort Láirge).
		However, since the demise of those Irish dialects spoken natively in what is today Northern Ireland, it is probably exaggerated to see Ulster Irish as an intermediary form between Scots Gaelic and the southern and western dialects of Irish.
