People gather outside Belfast City Hall in support of the Irish Language Act. PA

Poll: Can you speak Irish?

An bhfuil gaeilge agat?

THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE yesterday took part in a march through Belfast to seek the “immediate implementation” of an Irish Language Act.

The event was organised by An Dream Dearg and saw participants march from Cultúrlann McAdam Ó Fiaich to Belfast City Hall.

The provision of an Irish Language Act was a key component of the New Decade, New Approach deal which restored the government of the Northern Ireland Executive after a three-year hiatus.

This morning we want to know: Can you speak Irish? 


Poll Results:

I've a few words (4601)
Enough to get by  (3168)
The bare essentials (3092)
Absolutely none  (2647)
I can hold my own  (2024)
Yes - fluently  (1832)
