  • @dcinnamon83 I find it a bit rich that you're getting involved in a conversation that doesn't involve you. Jog on.

  • @Dendiol I find it a bit bit rich that you're telling @BigIrishmadman not to use childish language when you're using racist language. You may have a right to express your opinion but, and I hope you learn this lesson well, using racist or any other type of offensive language to back it up will lead others to (justifiably) ignore it and ignore you.

  • @BigIrishmadman And for the record, I apologise. It was wrong of me to insult a language and it's speakers.

  • @BigIrishmadman That's just my opinion. I may be wrong but I have a right to express it. By all means disagree with me, but don't use childish insults.

  • @Dendiol So you are saying that the Gaels in Northern Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Cornwall and the Isle of Man do not have the right to speak they're own language in the Parliment that make decisions for them?? Go fuck yourself mate! You are a C**T!

  • The first time gaeilge has been spoken in parliament in almost 100 years since the home rulers left Westminster and resfused to take their seats.

  • @Dendiol even though it kills me to say the north of ireland is still under english rule and irish just isnt the from the south but ireland as a whole, so it has a right in the house of commons. plus scots is also gaelic

  • This is the British parliament, therefore you speak English, Welsh or Scots. This paddy should have been disciplined by the speaker.

  • @mcflannhan Go raibh maith agat a chara

  • btw, maith thú connor!
