Peig Sayers Voice of an Island

[@keithbrandon8540]

Thankyou for this. My mother in law spoke Gaelic. She was from Arklow family name Wolahan.

Ah Peig I remember it well from secondary school 😊

[@lauraswann5543]

Does anyone else remember reading Peig in secondary school, as Gaeilge?

[@brigitnunez6735]

No never heard of her

[@lauraswann5543]

@@brigitnunez6735 In Irish secondary schools. We had to read her book in Irish class.

How could you forget. Horrendous stuff.

Peig called Irish Gaelainn not Gaeilge.

[@carl3684]

Thank god for that..

[@seangrogan3622]

I love the Peig, but by my oath, many do not. But, I tell the young ones, you need to push through with it, or it'll be through with you.

Correct me it I'm wrong, but I heard that she had to dictate the book to one of her sons as she was only literate in English.

Irish is called Gaelainn not Gaeilge in West Munster.
