Everything that we inherit, the rain, the skies, the speech, and anybody who works in the English language in Ireland knows that there's the dead ghost of Gaelic in the language we use and listen to and that those things will reflect our Irish identity. ↗

You're an old-timer if you can remember when setting the world on fire was a figure of speech. ↗
