The woman's reasoning was a bit odd: "There are Gaelic languages in Wales and Cornwall...it's not just an Irish thing, it's British as well."

Welsh and Cornish most definitely aren't "Gaelic," and they most definitely ARE British...but not English, which is what I suspect she was leaning toward.

Still, it's nice to see Loyalists taking an interest.

Nice to see it moving out of the political box it was stuck in for so long. There were Irish Speakers in working class areas of Belfast in the 1901 census, its equally part of the Protestant community s heritage.

But Breton is close to Cornish and it's spoken in France Certain people learn Irish for silly reasons... but anyway, what is important is that they respect and like the language and use it if possible

Id say she just mixed up the words Gaelic and Celtic.

No such thing as a silly reason to learn Irish; it is always a great thing to do! Cinnte!
