  • Taiginator it has to be said you do not have the mind of Christ. (Philippians 2:5-11) The Catholics around you are your neighbours and Christ asks of you that you love them.

  • @Taiginator Hating an entire people isnt Christian either. "The most important commandment" answered Jesus, "is this: 'Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.' The second is this: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no commandment greater than these." (Matt 22:37) "If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone" (Rom 12:18) Go do it!

  • @Taiginator You may be a "Proddy" but there is a desperate lack of Christian love in your heart.

  • Tír gan Teanga, Tí gan anam!

  • Very interesting history here.

    Good to see.

  • puzzleluvzme - Eh? NO!

  • Must say I didn't notice the similarity either :-)

  • Tuigim gach focal. Gaeilge gleoite í. Tá bród orm.

    Sláinte agus saol fada dóibh go léir.

    Terry.

  • Terry can you translate for me please.

  • Yes, Kate. Actually the subtitles are very accurate and give you 99% of the information. Sometimes they appreviate the sentences a little but you don't lose any of the essential information.

    Warm regards,

    Terry.

  • The language spoken here resembles Russian, to me, anyway. Does anyone else notice the similarity?

  • Not I.

  • Conamara area.

  • Not sure what you mean, rabbitshirt -Conamara is the broad peninsula between Killary Harbour and Kilkieran Bay in the west of County Galway or south west Connacht. The people featured have been identified as being from Gweedore, Donegal a fair distance away?

  • Sorry, I meant to put a question mark after that. I didn't know what the dialect was or where Gweedore is.

  • @rabbitshirt gweedore is in donegal r.o.i.

  • These Irish immigrants took the scut jobs and worked long hours and hard. Surely, they deserve some credit for their contributions and less of the verbal abuse they have suffered in the past. For years the Irish have worked hard in Britain building the railroads digging the canals etc. they needed the work and were willing to do jobs a lot Brits did not want to do.

  • Thanks for the video uistman, I was so surprised to see pictures of my family and of my late Father, Michael Harkin. My Uncle Charlie and Auntie Maire and my cousin John Noel Coll plus many more. Thanks for the memories.

  • Go raibh maith agat, nonie285. This is one of the best programmes I've seen and it was really interesting to hear the common experience of Irish and Scottish Gaels in Glasgow.

  • nonie285 I sent you message, please get back to me...

  • was this video spoken in the irish dialect or the scotish dialect?

  • The Irish people speak in Irish, the voiceover is Scottish Gaelic.

  • ahh so the people being interviewed are speaking irish and the narrator is speaking scots gaelic

  • exactly so. A lot of the Irish is intelligible to Scots gaelic speakers though, as it is Donegal dialect which is closer to Scots than , for example Kerry or Galway dialects.

  • I couldnt believe it when I saw your video, its my family, Uncle Charlie & Auntie Maire, Cousin John and Auntie Nancy & Uncle Toms wedding photo. So I can certainly confirm they are from Gweedore. Thankyou so much Uistman, it was a lovely surprise as I had no knowledge of the programme, cant wait to see more from you.

  • OK ive just watched the whole video, they are definetly from Gweedore! I know half of these people!

  • I believe you are right.

  • i wonder where in donegal they are from?!? Id say Gweedore!

  • If you must rate it 4 you could at least say what is wrong with it , eh?

  • Very interesting. I didn't know that so many Irish workers helped rebuild in the UK after WWII. Heartening to hear that their hard work was appreciated in their host city. :)

  • Thanks for the comments. This programme was about the links/comparisons/differences between the Gaels of Scotland and Ireland. I hope to post more of the programme in due course.
