Satirical animation from the creators of the website LANGERLAND.COM.

Here they ask: What has the Irish Language ever done for us?

(I prefer "What have the brits ever done for us?")

I think it's very funny, but you would need to be in Ireland to get all the allusions (not being from Cork, I'm sure I missed some)

I don't find it offensive.. Ach sin ráite agam ní dóigh liom go bhfuil sé greannmhar ach a mhalairt!

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
