    The Irish nation is the Gaelic nation

    From the Catholic Bulletin* in 1924

    The Irish nation is the Gaelic nation; its language and literature is the
    Gaelic language; its history is the history of the Gael. All other elements
    have no place in the Irish national life, literature and tradition, save as
    far as they are assimilated into the very substance of Gaelic speech, life
    and thought.
    [size=7]*Catholic Bulletin had an enormous influence on the Irish republican movment and on the ideological make up of the early Irish Republic leaders.[/size]

    How ironic considering that the text is written in English.

    ...All other elements have no place in the Irish national life...
    Including a religious cult originating in the Middle East?

    Indeed, they should read this.

    The Catholic Bulletin recently made a successful comeback, to the delight
    of Little Irelanders everywhere.
    It's now called the "Hibernian" and edited by Gerry McGeough .

    seeing as Gaelic was banned by the invaders, as was our religion, our culture, the colour green at one stage its a testament to the irish that any of us kept the Gaelic alive at all,
