Suil eile


TG4 have been showing a number of excellent documentaries on Saturday nights. Last night's was about the contribution of Protestants to the revival of the Irish language in the 19th century, particularly in the Gaelic League. The programme made the point that the original intent was to have a non-political and non-sectarian cultural organisation, and that being proud of Irish culture, and being Irish, does not necessarily mean tearing down one flag and raising another. Timely.
