?ire is Irish for Ireland. Not everyone realizes that the Irish language is an official E.U. language and the official first language of Ireland since now most Irish speak English and very few in comparison use Irish as a daily language. There is a long history but to summarize it, Irish is still alive and actively promoted and taught within Ireland with ever increasing efforts and creativity. The global community can help the Irish language grow again by increasing awareness of the language and by beginning the journey to learn and use it.
