Many songs I have heard from I was a boy in Ireland were borrowed from various lands, but sang with enthusiasm and feeling irrespective of their origin.
Bheir mio o, Ho ro mo my nut brown maiden, Fear an bata, all from Scottish Gaelic I have heard sung at many a Feis in the north of Ireland, and to-day, with the Fleadhs taking the place of the Feis, these songs along with with many other Scottish Gaelic songs are still sung and loved by all.   Long may it continue, as long as the good people continue to give their time and hard work to the Fleadhs these songs will be with us away into the distant future.
