Who are the Irish?

Covering the origins and nature of the Irish people from their earliest beginnings to the modern day through archaeology, mythology and history. It is only the most brief of introductions and focuses more on origins and myth so do not expect an in-depth history, but a quick overview of some important points.
Feel free to dispute specific figures. I typically went with mid-range estimates. The fact is, nobody actually knows the true figures, but they were massive and terrible.
Also, unlike most of my Irish-related videos where I often try to use Old Gaelic pronunciation, I do try to use modern (Munster-ish) pronunciation throughout this video for names, though there may be some inconsistencies or errors. Obviously I am not a native speaker. I can only try my best.

The fist step for the modern Gaels is the revival of our language. There's a reason the English were so adamant about eradicating the Irish and Welsh languages going so far as to beat children in school for speaking there own language. Language is part of the very foundation of a culture. The fact is they beat the pride out of us, the pride for our own language and now Ireland and the descendants of the Gael have a complicated relationship with our language and there is even a debate in Ireland as to weather the language is even worth reviving but thankfully that seems to have shifted in favor of Gaeilge in recent years more young people have taken interest and the internet is breathing new life into the language but its up to us to save it. There is no Gaelic culture without Gaeilge.

@@peterhoulihan9766 it’s a double-edged sword; I’m seeing first hand how some local, poorly educated and unskilled Welsh people who merely speak Welsh (and not the highest quality of the language,mind) are being given jobs in Wales above more qualified white British people (Welsh includes) who do not speak it fluently. We should always reward merit over statistical suitability which might make companies look good but ultimately make them perform to a lesser standard. This is, of course, no excuse when it comes to other incoming groups of suspect motives.

[@thegreenmage6956]

@Alexander Holmes I have heard a theory that the English intentionally allowed the Irish to continue being Catholics, saying “if they become Protestants soon they’ll be wanting a bible in their own language!”. After the experience of this with us Welsh, it seems this was sufficient to let us retain our language and cultural identity enough that we were still enacting riots and causing them trouble. These are some of the possible reasons why Irish has declined to such a degree and Welsh has had some success. Language prestige is very importance and in Ireland this was Latin for the church, while in Wales, at least, the chapel culture had the people singing, weekly, in our own language… Nonetheless, while Ireland should be Irish, a United Britain and strong British Isles with a firm, fast relationship would be best for the future. Celts, aren’t we all?

I sometimes wonder if the myths about the Underworld, the Land Beneath the Waves, holy wells, etc. are memories of the rising seas at the end of the Ice Age. It makes sense that the Bell Beaker people would've lived in the lowlands (incl. Doggerland) and would've had to migrate. It has always fascinated me that such memories can still be found, even in records written by monks that transcribed things they didn't really understand in a then-new Christian perspective that didn't quite fit. A culture that buried older monuments like Newgrange with reverence, avoided being civilised by the Romans, incorporated and fostered Christianity, precluded Norse domination, and survived imperial rule into the mid-19th century when Irish cultural/linguistic domination began to fade with the emigrant boats. I wish we had a political class that didn't hate us with such fervour. What could we do then?

The Conquest of Ireland arguably wasn’t fully completed until the Act of Union in 1800 when the Kingdom of Ireland (after centuries of constitutional and regime changes) was forcibly merged into the British state (though our civil service and courts remained separate, and we retained our legislative representatives). Those representatives forced to sit in London instead of Dublin, but went back to Ireland in 1919 and declared independence in a reconstituted Irish Parliament (copying the Hungarian walkout of the Austrian parliament in the 1860s).

Saying "Celt" should be prohibited, that was a broad term given to Europeans by the Greeks, so technically, everybody's Celtic. Even the tribes we know of were made up of smaller clans, individual and distinct from each other, so that term is reductive and not really representative of anyone's heritage. I know learning the names of thousands of tribes is not possible or convenient for the average person that's why we say Celtic and we conjure that image of a mustached dude with no armor and a large shield being trampled by legionaries. But saying Celtic, Barbarian, or foreigner equates to the same as they would've been the term used by the historians we draw our written sources from, mostly Greek and Roman.

What a fair, respectful, and sweal guy your version must've been. However the full story is: _"In the first century BC, Roman leader Julius Caesar reported that the Gauls called themselves 'Celts', Latin: Celtae, in their own tongue.[30] _*_Thus whether it was given to them by others or not, it was used by the Celts themselves."_* Same people called themselves Roman aftwards, but most likely not Celts as an umbrella term, as the notion of globalization wouldn't be introduced much later on, and a term to define them as wel.

Seems pretty ingrained in the Irish system to be focused on replacement ….so not sure why you are so upset about an American who thinks about his Irish roots fondly. Perhaps if Irish were more nostalgic for their roots and history, they wouldn’t be ushering in their replacement so readily.

Irish culture is dying, especially in Dublin. I see it getting worse, day by day, and it saddens me deeply, however, I do not blame these people, they do not know that they are being used and they are getting a better/easier/richer life, it is just a shame that we are paying with our taxes, for the destruction of our own nations, the death of our cultures, all in the name of a new world order.
