Is fearr Gaeilge bhriste ná Béarla cliste, ach bíonn Gaeilge chliste níos fearr arís. Ceartaigh mé. Is fearr liom Gaeilinn na nDéise nó Gaelainn na Mumhan.
Broken Irish may be better than perfect English but good Irish is better. Corrections welcomed! Waterford/Munster preferred.
Alan Turing died allegedly by suicide on 7th June 1954. Turing was convicted of gross indecency in 1952 and given a choice between imprisonment and probation. His probation was conditional on his agreement to undergo hormonal physical changes designed to reduce his libido. Turing's conviction led to the removal of his security clearance and barred him from continuing with his consultancy for GCHQ. He was denied entry into the United States afterwards.
A very powerful interview with Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde. She is a hero of our times.
I think, unfortunately, that she is likely to become to be seen as the Pastor Martin Niemöller (who wrote the poem "First they came ...") or Dietrich Bonhoeffer of our times.
