The reason one was made in irish is because its one of the official languages of the EU. There were versions made in Basque and Catalan also as they're official languages too. Welsh and other celtic languages are national languages but are not officially languages of the EU (eg welsh has official status in Wales but not in any other part of the UK). Is maith liom an advert seo. Té mé ag caint Béarla san obair agus ar an teilifís, mar caint Gaeilge sa Teaglach.
The two women speaking Irish Gaelic sounded American, the first in 0:03 & more pronounced by the other woman in 0:20. It's unfortunate a small percentage of Irish people are native Gaelic speakers or had learned it later in life. I ponder if the next EU parliament elections may have TV spots in other Celtic languages: Manx (presumably extinct), Welsh, Breton, Cornish (a small number are fluent in Cornwall) & Scottish Gaelic. How come there isn't a spot in Welsh? Wales is a bilingual country. +
1. Criticising the EU or it's institutions is Illegal (European Court of Justice ruling,case 274/99).
2.Rioting/ civil ' upheaval ´ during time of war is punishable by death (amendment to the European Charter,article2,passage2c : google Prof.Schachtschneider).
3. Any state not willing to `continually upgrade it's military´will also face punishment.

@demikede1 Actually they don't sound American at all. By wrongfully calling Irish 'Irish Gaelic', you do.

120,000 burocrats can't be wrong.
Just say no (like the French,Dutch & Irish).
Don't VOTE in the EU elections.
