    Spent two weeks on the West coast back in March. Some really tiny, tiny towns in the main Irish Gaelic speaking areas. Did not hear one word of Irish.

    Compare this to when I was in the same area in late 1998, and in these small towns you’d still hear it often in the pubs. It is a damn shame, IMHO.
