Strange story Dali Lama, not really that relevant.
Anyway, did you ever come across people speaking a form of Gaelic in that eastern part if Canada. I was told by a Canadian, who had a pretty strong West of Ireland accent (for quite a while I assumed these 2 girls we met were irish) told us Gaelic was spoke by some people where they were from. I never really investigated it it questioned it as I was trying to ride either one of them.

Thats in Newfoundland. A load of Irish landed there and were relatively isolated so maintained a lot of the Irish culture.
Think there were native Irish speakers there until early last century.
They were all originally from Waherfurd and Cark though, not the west.

You also have the Black Irish of Monserrat in the Caribbean. At least you did in 1976 when Radharc made this show.

Montserrat is the only other country in the world to celebrate Paddys day.
Half the island is under volcanic ash these days as the islands local volcano has been going off for decades.
Always thought itâd be a cool place to visit
Iâm calling bullshit on this. There were 9 millions seating tickets sold for the London Olympics, let along taking into account the millions that lined the streets for the free events like the Marathon, cycling, triathlons, etc.
Another sign that the recession is over is that the PR wings/agencies for the Government are getting the chance to perform mathematical acrobatics once again.

There was a more recent documentary on TG4, about 5 year ago, I think it was called The Red Legs, or something like that. Absolutely fascinating stuff. Pretty sure it was in Barbados.

I met a load of these types in Canada when I spent 6 months in Nova Scotia- Itâs not just Newfoundland @Julio Geordio - Itâs along the east coast- Newfoundland and Cape Breton would be the strongest- Lots of Scots settled in the latter, Irish in the former but both had a mix of each also. Itâs unsettling when you hear it alright .
Iâll be there Sunday. Iâm sure it wonât be too difficult to pick you out.
Kev, Scots Gaelic is spoken in Cape Breton in Nova Scotia. Itâs like a Gaeltacht for Scots Gaelic Youâll even see a lot of the streets signage in Gaelic.
Never heard Irish spoken there or in Newfoundland.
But the Newfie accent sounds very much like a Waherfurd accent though.

Who is he?
the lad that goes around Ireland with a camera and a dog talking to people he meets in the streetâŚyou seem to know someone from every place in the Emerald IsleâŚ
Is that really strange? Weâre a small country an I have lived in diaspora hotspots.
I know dubs donât travel that well, but surely you had to meet that Spanish wan somewhere.
