Sorry Declan, no 'n' on 'daoine' in this instance. Genitive case not involved here. Check it out.

James, learning Irish is no harder or easier than learning any other European language. Naturally it takes years and a lot of hard slog and persistance to speak it well but anyone can learn to read simple texts within a year if they apply themselves to the task with some vigour.After all it only has eleven irregular verbs! English has many more and so does French. Why not give it a go? You'll find lots of stuff by putting the word 'gaeilge' into a google search box. Go n-éirí leat!
