    This is way off topic, but I really dont get the knocking of a decent Irish sucess story.

    I'm not knocking him because he's Irish and he's successful. I'm knocking him because I think he's a **** comedian and he annoys me.


    I don't particularly care what anybody else thinks about him.

    Good craic listening to those three lads speaking German. I've the height of respect for anybody who makes the effort to move to a non-English speaking country.

    I've never seen a programme about it but during WWII German children were brought to Ireland as refugees. In the Corca Dhuibhne gaeltacht today I know one of these and she was brought up speaking Irish and has made her home there ever since.

    Well, it's hardly the French.

    Why does anybody bother to contribute to a wikipedia article? To share information with the world it would seem.

    The people who read it, obviously. And given the mass amount of contributions in Irish - I would say, many people care.
