  1. The Use of Irish

    Share Share Post
    My mother who died 26 years ago at the age of 67 remembered that in her youth children used to wear a little piece of wood suspended from the neck. Whenever they spoke a word in Irish a notch was put in the wood and when a certain number of notches had been made in the cipín the child was punished.
