A.D. 600 to 900 was it not longer than that? |

Cé a dúirt: "Nuair a thagann an fhírinne is an scéalaíocht trasna ar a chéile, tabhair tosach don scéalaíocht"? |

Well, Conal Gulban is meant to be buried in Leitrim (founder of Tír Chonaill). Good job he died, or if he expanded the auld territory, I might be form Donegal. Still, got to hand it to the Uí Néill, they were randy fuckers! |

They were ALL randy fuckers! And whats to say we're still not... I find it quite simple that they use a map with a line with a dividing line and counties. That line is only 85 years old. Counties have only been here a few centuries aswell. How many centuries ago is the article based on? It would have been a lot more relevant and suitable to use a modern-day version of a map of the time of Niall etc.. A people without a language of its own is only half a nation.A nation should guard its language more than its territories, 'tis a surer barrier and a more important frontier than mountain or river

Domhnall, I know this is a bit off topic but I wanted to tell you that I read that grand speech that you toke your quote from. I came upon it a couple days ago on some website and I theroughly enjoyed reading it because it conveyed well, in my opinion, the importance of the situation, I already knew it was important but still. Anyway I think it is a great quote. |

Go raibh míle Ríona a chara, A great speech indeed.. Still as relevant today as 125 years ago. There's an abundance of the likes of that around.. Have a look around and you'll find one for your signature!! :) Domhnall.
