I don't think speaking Gaelic is considered bilingual, it is the Irish first official national language.

Irish is spoken as a first language by a small minority of Irish people, and as a second language by a larger group of non-native speakers. Irish enjoys constitutional status as the national and first official language of the Republic of Ireland, and is an officially recognised minority language in Northern Ireland. It is also among the official languages of the European Union. The public body Foras na Gaeilge is responsible for the promotion of the language throughout the island of Ireland.

It's the same as being surprised someone in Canada speaks French.

It makes them bi something
I went back and read my original post and it wasn't at all what I thought I'd posted. I meant to say I don't think it's strange he is bilingual since Gaelic is the Irish national language. I couldn't understand why people were questioning me.
Note to self, don't write posts when you're talking to your wife.

To be fair, Irish is a dying language at this point. Estimates put it that less than 50% of the population can speak it fluently, and even less so do it on a daily basis. There are areas in Ireland called "Gaeltachts" which are areas that speak Irish primarily, and you get schools which teach every lesson (aside from English) in Irish. Majority of the Irish speaking population in Ireland are in the 40+ age category so that % that can speak the language is going to go down every year.
That's too bad it sounds awesome.

I thought gaelic (irish) was much more closer related to english than this, now i need to look in to this.
I'm an English guy who was forced to learn it cos I moved to Ireland when I was 7
The language, in a polite way, can póg mo thón

It's one of the languages the pre-Saxon savages of the British Isles spoke before the Saxons, Angles, and Jutes moved in and actually organized the fucking islands.

You're a sad excuse for a nut hugger. Any real fan would have one of Conor's quotes tattoo'd in this language.
I went to a Gaelic school so it's different but everyone I know who was in a standard school hates the language.
No one is going to learn shit sitting there ryhming off.
