unfortunately not.

what's also unfortunate is that my irish is so bad by now
that i forgot the fada actually comes on the 'e' of beal,
NOT the 'a'! oh how i laughed!

Here, have an excerpt:

~ Upon me soul, said he, I hear the English Government is
going to do great work for the good of the paupers here in
this place, safe and saved may everyone be in this house! It
is fixed to pay the likes of us two pounds a skull for every
child of ours that speaks English instead of this thieving
Gaelic. Trying to separate us from the Gaelic they are,
praise be to them sempiternally! I don't think there'll ever
be good conditions for the Gaels while having small houses
in the corner of the glen, going about in the dirty ashes,
constantly fishing in the constant storm, telling stories at
night about the hardships and hard times of the Gaels in
sweet words of Gaelic is natural to them.

i finished it the other night and have lost all the "funny"
bits but let me assure you THIS IS READING MATERIAL OF THE
HIGHEST IMPERATIVE.
