Anyone one here speak a non standard dialect of irish?

The only non-standard dialects of Irish are Scottish and Manx. Alternatively, pre "reform" Irish is somewhat different.
But if you asked anyone they'd probably say Donegal/Ulster because it's more different from the main two than they are from each other.

Is it common for people to say that manx/scotts gaelic are dialects, how easy is it to understand one another?

Well most Irish people don't understand any Irish, but I've read that when they first put Irish on the radio people from the southern Gaeltachts couldn't understand Donegal Irish.

That bad huh? Is the standardisation of irish bridging that gap?

>but I've read that when they first put Irish on the radio people from the southern Gaeltachts couldn't understand Donegal Irish.
Donegal Irish might as well be another language as far as I'm concerned. It's an abomination.

>he's unfamiliar with the genre of trad that involves identical twins playing the same instruments behind a pane of glass to fool unlookers

Pretty much all native speakers do since they speak their own dialects instead of the standardised Irish taught in schools.

Donegal Gaelgóirs can understand Scottish easier than others can. It's all mutually intelligible given some time for someone to accustomise themselves to it.

Ulster accents are as incomprehensible in Irish as they are in English.

Depends what you mean by bridging the gap.
As it stands, maybe 75% of the people who actually know Irish can follow Donegal Irish.
But because they aren't effectively isntructing most people in any Irish, it's not like there is a "standardised Irish" which is being deliberately brought into being. What is instead happening is that pleb schoolteachers (who aren't sending their best) with no native knowledge of the language are de-facto mangling mostly Munster Irish into a "standardised" version, which is not good.

Mar sin tá gach canúint scartha le droch-chleachtas múinteoireachta? Ansin, dá mba rud é go raibh mé le Gaeilge a fhoghlaim, agus dá labhróinn é an mbeadh am deacair agam labhairt leis na daoine a labhraíonn na canúintí eile nó a mhalairt.

>National Broadband Plan fiasco
As somebody from a rural area, I feel short-changed that this has become such a mess. Yet at the same time, I don't feel surprised. Broadband for rural Ireland is a necessity in this day and age, but I don't want it if it comes as part of some ridiculous, overpriced tribunal-in-waiting. Between this and the National Children's Hospital, it's really apparent that this government can't manage large scale projects at all.

Kent is right, of course.
Democracy means gay parades, dispossession through immigration, and free abortions, only a dictatorship can give people what they ought to have, good or bad.

Is maith an rud é, an bhfuil tú ag iarraidh daoine eile a spreagadh chun Gaeilge a fhoghlaim nó an dteastaíonn ó dhaoine is mó a fhoghlaim cheana féin?

I don't think it will get far so long as it's presented as some individualist pietistic action. Only those who use their knowledge to create works of media in Irish are advancing the cause, because only through media saturation can the language change. But we live and have lived under puppet government, and it's only getting worse.
Maybe in the future when AI is advanced enough to auto-translate mass media into Irish it could be achieved, but as it stands there's little hope of any mass revival, only people keeping the spark alive. My own Irish is not good enough to do that.

yea munster irish. the caighdeán (standard) is mostly based on connacht irish

Cá bhfuilir ag foghlaim an Gaelainn?

It's funny how neither group is happy with their influence in the caighdéanach oifigúil. Connacht speakers hate the amount of Munsterish in it to the point that they believe Munster Irish makes up the majority of it. I suppose you would only notice the differences from your own dialect over the similarities that you would have assumed is just regular Irish.

i thought i was special that my gaeilge was a mix of connacht and munster, because i grew up in connacht but had a carlow man teaching me in primary
but this is the official?? why has noone told me this before???

>why has noone told me this before???
Because you use multiple question marks like a girl.

but i dont do that in real life?????

>guy on radio complaining about one-off housing and services
Christ, I nearly ripped the radio from the car and threw if out the window.
Not that I don't agree with their being issues with one-off housing, but to suggest people in them, and rural Ireland in general, expect services equal to that of many urban areas, simply isn't true. Most people would accept paying a grand or more to get connected to broadband. Most people don't have qualms with having to drill a well for water, or having dig and install their own septic tank. Unfortunately however, in this instance we can't dig a hole in the ground and get broadband.
Wouldn't mind if there was someone competent on debating the individual in question, but all we get instead is Mary Wilson on about how farmers want to watch Netflix after a long day out milking cattle. Bit more to it than that.
Also mentioned 5G but the only thing I reasonably know about that is that nobody knows enough about it. Possible health risks, and the fact it only covers and extremely short distance compared to 3G/4G. If we can't even get proper and reliable 4G out fully, what chance have we of getting 5G?

All went wrong when we privatised the telecoms network.

How can one government be so fucking incompetent?
It's not as if they're dealing with trillions of euros and hundreds of millions of people like in the US or something

kickbacks

People say that in every country, you're imagining it lad

Ireland's government genuinely is one of the most incompetent in the world, possibly the most incompetent.

That's what's great about them, they're too incompetent to be corrupt.

gombeen cope

In what way?

In just about every way. If you want a specific example, the way they're handling the housing crisis is a pretty big one.

lgbtqia+ rights are more important than homeless people you bigot

It's a warning not to borrow money

Kind of idiot would borrow money? Except for maybe a house, but that's about.

Even for houses it's a trap.

Might be right user.

While that is true, the current government seems to be very incompetent on everything except Brexit. But no matter how bad things get, at least they will never be as incompetent as the current British government.

>borrowing money
You should only ever borrow money if you have the ability to repay the full amount with short notice in case something were to go wrong.

Loans are only good for LLCs where you (the individual) can get away scot-free if your company (which might be as simple as just land speculation) fails, but you get the profits if it succeeds.
That's how most of the "celtic tiger" fortunes were made; those that weren't from insider contacts with government contracts and planning permission manipulation.
Hang the rich tbqh

Indifference to the population isn't the same thing as incompetence though.
Do you have any examples of the westminster government failing to build infrastructure or overspending as bad as their dublin subordinate?

Cry all you want about Irish dying but the other dead languages of Ireland, Yola, Fingallian and the various Norse languages and different norse-gaelic creoles are a much bigger loss imho as Irish still exists but no-one even knows of the ones I've listed or even more languages that have only existed here feel it's awful sad. Not trying to bait, insult Irish or downplay the problems it's facing and has faced just disheartened by it what do ye lot think about the other languages of Ireland?

>Indifference to the population isn't the same thing as incompetence though.
Theresa May's government could turn water into wine for the homeless, yet they would still be rightfully considered woefully incompetent for their handling of Brexit. That goes for Labour too.

HS2. And those millions they spent on a ferry company with no ferries.

It's about as common and promoted here as Sioux language is in the States

>incompetent for their handling of Brexit
Brexit as a political "item" can't really be handled in any way that isn't "incompetent" unless by a hypothetical hardcore brexit government for whom the negative ramifications are costs they're willing to pay, not failing to avoid.
Insofar as May has responsibility for the state of affairs going on at the minute with brexit, it seems like just extending it indefinitely is the more sensible thing from her position to do. Cancelling it would damage public morale with regards to the political system, making it happen would damage morale with regards to the economic system and international standing.
I haven't been following Labour. I'm only surprised that the "left" over there is so weak when a figure like Corbyn is in charge instead of a diversity loonie or an *ahem* "neoliberal" like from the faction that split off from labour recently. What have they done that's incompetent, and what would they do that would be incompetent if they were in government?

>HS2
That sounds bad, but it's still better than what reland has.
The ferries issue sounds insignificant compared to what Ireland's been put through.
