"Her 1990 'I Am Stretched on Your Grave' is a Gaelic folk hip-hop mash-up; strange as it sounds, it's a reworking of 17th century Irish poem 'Táim Sínte Ar Do Thuama' set to the James Brown 'Funky Drummer' loop ..."
Y si Irlanda hubiera seguido una política lingüística “a la catalana”: imponer el gaélico para todo y marginar al máximo el inglés? Hoy seguirían atados a las patatas, sumisos a los curas y emigrando en masa. Han elegido bien: olvidar las tonterías sobre “la lengua propia”.

"Taig" is a slur against Catholics.
A corruption of the name "Tadhg", it's also a slur on the Irish language.

In the North of Ireland, some people hate the Gaelic SPORTS and the Irish LANGUAGE because they ignorantly misperceive them as exclusive to Catholics... and they REALLY hate Catholics.
What does the presence of the DUP, founded out of hatred for Catholics, at Washington's St. Patrick's Day festivities say to Black Americans, Muslim Americans, Catholic Americans, LGBT Americans, and young Irish speakers in the North.. during Irish-American Heritage Month?

candidate Anne Smyth published incendiary comments on the Irish language. Her rôle as Chair of the Ulster Scots Language Society was not mentioned by the press. Is sharing posts disparaging a language with quotation marks appropriate?
