Title: Speaking Irish historically
Post by: anthonyp on Thursday 19 April 12 22:12 BST (UK)

While finding out about Scripture Readers (see recent thread under Co. Louth) I hit on this excellent article, a real eye-opener, which you can read on line.  'A History of Protestant Irish Speakers' by Gordon McCoy (2009) is at www.ultach.dsl.pipex.com/ForLearners/Prodhistory.pdf .  Maybe others on this list knew it all already but I found the whole thing fascinating!  Toby
