    If it wasn't compulsory i would probably have taken more of an interest in it at school. As it was Irish was a torture at school. Taught in a boring strict manner.

    I spent 13 years supposedly learning Irish at school and i don't have a clue what Richard has said in the above post.

    You know more than me. I just used an online translator to translate "The Sash my Father Wore". I don't know the words to it in English either, but the Internet is useful at times like this.

    Apparently, according to a website I found, it's Gerry Adams' party piece to sing the Sash in Irish. I have no idea if it's true.

    And there's also this, from the Wolfe Tones - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vbFGMo9cJ2Y

    They've changed the words a bit. Not sure whether Keith will like it!

    They don't even sing it well. Just why would they sing the sash. Gosh, awful.
