Ah now c'mon Liam-nobody knows all 3 but irish and scottish Gaelic are more similar than you think.
You should go to the gaeltacht- IT IS ******* BRILLIANT.
I am from Tallaght in Dublin and I went to Connemara and it was the BEST experience of my life.
You should go- you never even have to speak Irish.

To the person who said Irish is not a language, Shut up, you dont know anything.
All Irish people learn Irish in school, so the majority of ppl in Ireland can speak it.
There are also certain areas in Ireland, called the Gaeltacht, Where people only speak Irish.
Get your facts before answering and insulting peoples heritage.

Irish is not a language as is Scottish is not a language. They both speak english. Gaelic is spoken in Ireland as is English.

I know loads of Scottish people, having lived there for a good few years. There's a Welshman who lives next door but two. I used to work with an Irish woman. So there you go.

Cead Mile Failte.
Yes people here in Ireland can speak Irish. Even in the north. Just because the majority of people speak english in day to day situations it does not mean that we are ignorant to our culture.
