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...

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.

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

@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.

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. :-(
we thought it would be almost impossible to win a nobel prize for literature in irish so we tried it in english and it was a great success...we got three! so there was no turning back after that.
ach is buan fear ina dhúiche féin...
