Old Irish Grammar

The Advent Calendar starts at -1, before I came to Maynooth University @maynoothuniversity.ie in 2011. In 2006 & 2010, I produced two descriptions of Old Irish: my textbook Sengoídelc, and a concise typological grammar of Early Irish for the volume “The Celtic Languages”.

Ireland is so beautiful.

Just imagine how it would be if we actually protected and restored our nature, instead of killing it off everywhere, on land and at sea?

"This is the first time we can say with certainty that European wildcats lived in prehistoric Ireland"

A stunning discovery and more evidence that there's a lot left to discover about Ireland's ecology!

Wildcat bones found in Co Clare dated to 5,500 years ago
The first directly dated wildcat bones found in Ireland have been identified, confirming that the species inhabited the island more than 5,500 years ago.

Shame on this landlords' government.

They have refused to ban economic evictions, they're allowing rents to rise faster than ever, while handing hundreds of millions to the developers.

Their friends are getting rich while children are growing up homeless.

We need FG/FF out.

Some windy weather Thursday but thankfully the worst of it will stay out to Northwest of Ireland but some big seas are forecast with significant wave height of 12.5m Northwest of Ireland!

Once again, we are way too relaxed about the fact that "shooting Irish people is good actually" is a mainstream political position on the neighbouring island.

Arrived safely at Cairo airport and on way to town to join the #GlobalMarchToGaza. Nobody being detained and deported this evening.

Pressure on Egyptian government is clearly working. Keep it up demanding that we can march and call for the starvation of Gaza to be ended.

Great to see these Belfast IPSC activists, Sue and Martine, released.
But what a disgrace arresting them for allegedly putting a sticker on an atm, of a bank - Barclays - that is complicit in apartheid Israel's genocide of Palestinians. #BoycottBarclays #GazaGenocide

This is a good piece by @owswills.bsky.social

Keir Starmer’s insistence that ‘if you want to live in the UK, you should speak English,’ reveals “a deeper truth about how the UK State still sees itself: as one nation, with one language, and one legitimate identity.”

The UK is not a single-language state. It’s time Starmer caught up

Thug mé alt don Irish Mountain Log le foilsiú i nGaeilge agus d'aistrigh siad go Béarla gan cead a fháil uaim agus ansin dúirt siad sa réamhrá gur thug mé céad dóibh 🙃

Tá The Journal fós ag fás mar cheann de na foinsí nuachta is mó úsáid agus is iontaofa in Éirinn agus anois tá sé ag iarraidh iriseoir nuachta ag a bhfuil taithí a fhostú do ról nua íontach.
