This brings back fond memories .. we used to listen to Eamonn Kelly on the wireless in the 60's .. THE SHANAKEE ... I knew his niece Bernie Kelly in London in the 70s .. .Boy she was a beauty !!!! Eamonn Kelly's stories were wonderfull! Thank you for posting this.
Bill Grogan's goat! :) Loved the telling. Now this one, I'm having quite a time understanding some of the words. No worries - I'll keep listening to it and work out more of the words. The accent is (delightfully) pronounced to my foreign ears.
We think that is the reason why the Irish language is plummeting out of existence, agus is trua e sin, constantly correcting people who make a stab at it, won't make it arise from the ashes, it just fans the flames! The Dollies XXX

Would you like your country to be called a burden? I think not. Don't half-ass anything. In plenty of languages, a misspoken word can mean the difference between a compliment and an huge insult; ignorance cannot be used as a defense. Anyone with a year's worth of learning Irish know that many words' meanings change drastically with or without a fada, so stop the bullshit excuses and whining. Do your best, but accept corrections!

This joke is noted in PAPA'S BILLYGOAT, when the goat eats and hiccups a red flannel shirt.

ÉIRE, please, not 'EIRE". eire without the fada means "burden"!
