The Unionist Community will not tolerate an Irish language street name on the Shankill Road. Oh wait a minute... Most place names are Irish, most towns, all counties and the province. Like it or not DUP people - The language is part of the heritage of Northern Ireland.
It doesn't matter how many families/people speak Chinese, polish or any other language in NI, they are not indigenous to there. And no matter how you view it the Irish language is.
If you're against the Irish language, answer this. Why should we not have the right to speak our own native language, to learn it in school, to read it on street signs. Even in the 26 counties English is on every street sign as a bilingual country.
The UUP guy is speaking disgraceful nonsense! To suggest that the Irish Language act in the Free State was anti Protestant and ethnic cleansing is unbelieveably ignorant. He obviously doesn't know that Douglas Hyde - the first Irish President, wrote the first Irish Dictionary and was A PROTESTANT. He also forgets that the Orange in the Irish flag represents Protestants. On the other hand - he must know that Northern Ireland was designed to be a Protestant state for Protestant people. Hence the civil rights movement in the 60s.
Whether you support the Union or are a republican is a economic and political issue. Being a. Catholic or Protestant is nothing to do with the Irish border.
At least the Host was impartial. Professionalism & expertise are the mechanisms that will address any challenge. Hope that a mechanism of such calibre is N position to correct the mother of all irregularities. The global situation. Otherwise its back to the stoneage. Maybe worse than that if there is such as the last stop
Im all for education and learning an new language, but the Irish Lauguage is a defunct one, thats only spoken on this small island by a minority. I think it would be a waste of time to learn it. Better to learn spanish or french which is spoken in other parts of the world, and could gain you employment or actually help you out of a sticking situation.
''I speak some irish myself''
The equivilent of ''I have black friends too''

Irish language act will be a good thing; I hold it could even be considered necessary.
*Save the Celtic Nations' languages*
Irish is indigenous to all of the island and as such the political status of Northern Ireland is totally irrelevant in this case.

What a mental panel to select for this. If this is the best you can come up with then you are either biased or else you shouldn't do the show
You could actually see Bryson mimicking the way Jim Allister talks and the same body language when speaking!🤣
what a totally one-sided panel nolan had on this show..

It's got nothing to do with Catholic & protestant anybody can learn it if they so choose nobody's looking to shove it down their throats
