  • I love this scene. I was told that if you want to talk to a priest, It is better to talk to him in Gaelic. Its the only language that god can not understand.

  • few people in Ireland (in Donaghadee at least) use this beautiful language. It doesn't really even feel Irish anymore...

see all

  • I love this film. I also like the more recent Irish film "Waking Ned Devine." I am an American, but three of my grandparents were from the Republic of Ireland and one was German. That's why I like to drink Guinness on a strict schedule. I also find myself liking Irish Music and in particular the "Highland Sessions" and "Trans Atlantic Sessions" on youtube. It's cool to see people responding in Irish Gaelic even though I can't understand a word of it. They say still waters run deep.

  • gotta love the priorities - never mind your marriage, look at that fish!

  • Great scene! This film is gorgeous. I wish it would get restored and re-released on dvd.

  • @CorieFaulkner i never got the hang of it, most people dont.

  • @CorieFaulkner They do in the Southwest of Ireland and the road signs aren't in English. We learned very quickly that Go mal means to slow down.

  • @Caoinleain what r they saying?

  • Why don't the Irish speak their beautiful language anymore?

  • This is a bit depressing for me. Reading the transcript I can understand it perfectly, but I just couldn't make out what she was saying from her accent. That's how out of touch I am with the language, living in Dublin. :-(
