Irish language in Inniskeen

Frank McNally, a Monaghan man, notes Kavanagh's hostility to the Irish - '"that it is dead when it is dead,” he [Kavanagh] wrote in 1948. This was premature, strictly speaking, even in his own parish. The last native Irish speaker in south Monaghan, Dan Tuite, was from Kednaminsha [and spluttered on until 1957]' (An Irishman's Diary (Thu 12 Dec 2009)). Another source on Inniskeen's last native speaker of Irish says, 'The Irish language survived longer in Farney than in other parts of the country. The last native speaker, Dan Tate (Tuite) of Kednaminsha, Inniskeen, did not die until 1957. The 1891 census recorded that 2,161 native speakers still survived in the barony, mainly in the parishes of Donaghmoyne and Inniskeen.' (Irish Identity). An extensive article on him and Irish in this area appeared in the journal An tUltach back in the 1950s (1957?). Ciarán Ó Duibhín's website has a list of resources on this speaker (Search on this website: Dónall Mac Confhiacla (Tuite), Mullach Uinnseannach, Inis Caoin). Among this list is a link to the Irish Folklore Commission which went to Inniskeen and interviewed local native speakers. All of this could make a valuable addition to this page and indeed the wider County Monaghan article. 79.97.154.238 (talk) 02:20, 3 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
