I have run across many 'Catters with varying levels of proficiency in the Irish language. Do we have any idea how many native/fluent speakers there are here?
(A majority of the people I know with the interest know enough to have an idea of the song, and enough to "be polite" in Irish, but it is a very difficult language to learn with fluency, in part no doubt because there is little opportunity for ongoing practice without moving to the Gaeltacht.)
