Depends on your definition of "enough" ;-) If they want to understand each other they can do so without much problem. Each of them can make a little effort to avoid the most extreme dialectal features. If two speakers from Tory Island want to talk with each other so that no-one from Dún Chaoin understands they could probably do so to some extent. |

I've never encountered any real problems on that score.I'm a dublin girl myself but in general be you speaking in english or as gaeilge you encounter minimal enough problems with the good people of the other provinces It's all give, take, and speaking that bit slower I suppose! |
