Probably my favourite thing about the Irish language is that the word orm has twice as many syllables as the phrase cá bhfuil, and gorma has thrice the syllables of tabhair.

Summer [Iona]
Iona was eight when she first remembered her sister changing seasons. Eireann had probably changed forms before then, but memories spanning centuries were pulled and stretched like taffy; remembering anything from before she was ten was a surprise.
Her sister barged in through the front door. She was incandescent, her skin sunny and hair a searing orange-gold at the roots that rippled into a creamy white at the tips. Her personality aligned with her appearance—while still cheeky at her core, her chin tilted skyward, her temper boiling closer to the surface.
Looking at her directly while she stood in the light made Iona’s eyes ache. She hadn't understood it then, but her sister was young, too, less than a hundred years old; her control over her seasons hadn’t fully matured. She was the distilled fury and radiance of the sun in mortal form. As she flipped her hair over her shoulder and cut across the floor in long, powerful strides, a kindling built in Iona’s chest.
For the first time Iona thought: if her eladrin blood was closer to the surface and she could change seasons, she would be summer.

#OTD in 1920 – Countess Markievicz was court-martialed by the British administration.
She had been held in Mountjoy since her arrest at Rathmines on 26th September. The proceedings took place at the Royal Barracks (now Collins Barracks). Her close friends Dr. Kathleen Lynn, Maud Gonne MacBride and Hanna Sheehy-Skeffington were permitted to attend but under strict conditions. Markievicz was charged with conspiring to ‘organise and promote’ Fianna Éireann for the purposes of…

Songs about Ireland / In Irish that I would recommend EVERYONE to listen to.
Firstly, we have Sinéad O'Connor's song 'Famine'. Sinéad was an Irish singer-songwriter and a prominent activist. A very interesting figure, who wrote beautifully poignant songs on issues Ireland faced in the 90's in particular, but these songs still remain very relevant today. This song deals with the truth behind the so-called famine in Ireland, and has been deemed controversial since Sinead first performed it.
Of course, next we have Hozier. 'Butchered Tongue' is a wistful song about the decline in the Irish language and Irish culture. It also touches on the pitchcapping of Irish Rebels during the 1798 rebellion against the british. Yes I cried when hearing this song for the first time.
Another Hozier song, that actually surprised me a lot, is 'De Selby (part 1)'. This song is the first time I have heard the Irish language in a song by a globally popular artist. The idea that this song was played, that Irish was played across the world still amazes me. See my translation for this song here. This song is incredibly beautiful.
A band that sings in Irish is Dysania, and I would really recommend their song 'Lasú Croí'. The song slaps, and they are incredible for keeping our language alive through modern music. I'd also recommend 'Bothar Briste'.
Another band that sings as gaeilge is IMLÉ. I'd recommend 'Éad' and 'Go Deo, Go Deo.' Their songs are incredibly moving, 'Go Deo, Go Deo' kinda reminds me of a calmer version of 'Army Dreamers' by Kate Bush.
'The Town I Left Behind' is also a classic song that practically every Irish person knows. I would personally recommend The Dubliner's version. As well as this I would recommend listening to 'Grace', and 'The Foggy Dew'. All these songs deal with Ireland's history in some way - from the troubles to the 1916 rising.
'Isle of Hope, Isle of Tears' is another well-known song that I particularly remember learning in primary school. The Irish-Americans might be interested in this one - it's a song about the mass immigration to America during the Famine.
