A lot of nationalists around the world need to hear this in my opinion!

This is one of the main things or tricks maybe they could be called I learned from the Abraham Hicks
books I have.
When we feel intense discomfort or rather pain it is often because we are not keeping up with the
rockets of desire as Abraham Hicks calls them we have launched.
I am nearly a year "slow" on this but I only noticed this yesterday driving in a friend's car on College Road! I love it!! 💖💖💖 I will take a couple of photos of the spot for WC / Wikimedia Commons at some point over the next few weeks.
I bought these 4 bilingual aluminium EN/GA bookmarks from the shop Local Irish Gifts in Wexford
Town recently – I love them, not that I really read 4 books at a time! 😊😍 The shops sells a pretty
wide selection of as Gaeilge and bilingual as Gaeilge / as Béarla stuff which is great dar liom!
Feedback to interview:
I shouldn't have to spell this out – I have been aware of this for over 20 years – but generally immigration
to Ireland is good for the Irish language.
Not only do most immigrants to Ireland speak at least two languages – many of them speak more than
two and many of them have a much greater understanding of the position of minority languages and
cultural diversity from their original countries so they can I believe understand the position of the Irish
language in Ireland more and why some people believe strongly that we should preserve and try to grow
Gaeilge.
I do think that the growth in immigration in Ireland over the last few years is unsustainable and we should
be permitting a lot less new people into the country over the next few years so we can cope but I don't
make a false connection saying that immigration is not good for the Irish language and to the contrary I
think that most of the time it is the reverse.
If the Irish language in Ireland is not in a strong a place as ideal it is because the vast bulk of the native
Irish population have no strong committment to brush up on the language in a decent sense and speak it.
Update – According to ChatGPT while this quote has been widely attributed to Thomas Davis it is
possible that it is a paraphrase. I hate it when this happens with great quotes.
From my Facebook tonight below. I visited the north-west Donegal Gaeltacht area on Saturday although
forgot to take a photo of An tSean Bheairic. You can see the photos I took on my day trip on WC here,
here and see the short video I took of Gleann Nimhe here.
