man honestly it was hard listening to them speak Gaelic. I respect the language/history but it sounds like they have a large rag shoved deep in their mouths.
English is predominantly spoken, especially in everyday speech. But most people have a pretty good level of Irish too. The reason the couriers are speaking in Irish to the camera is because this documentary was made by an Irish language television station.
...this is not an accurate representation of dublin traffic..dublin has one of the worst rush hours in the western world..I knew a courier who preffered los angeles traffic to dublin traffic!

..english is the first language, in reality the irish language is seen as a hobby more than a necessity these days...

I was a bicycle/motorcycle courier in Dublin for 4 years in the mid/late 90's...fairly memorable time for me...never a dull moment!

interesting, not an easy job to do anywhere in the world. and not in Dublin with pot holes, rain, and small narrow streets.
