Talk:Conradh na Gaeilge

message: I wonder if we shouldn't move this article to Conradh na Gaeilge. No one really calls it the Gaelic League any more, though that's what CnaG means. Evertype 18:01, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

message: The Gaelic Union rediects to this page however,
Aondacht na Gaeilge, or the Gaelic Union, predates the Gaelic League.
The Society for the Preservation of the Irish Language was founded in 1876, the Gaelic Union was founded as a result of a slit in this movement, the Gaelic Union. The Gaeilge Union achieved some notable success including ensuring that Irish was placed on the syllabus, and the founding of the first irish magazine in Irelan "Irisleabhar na Gaedhilge", one of the members was Douglas Hyde who later founded the Gaelic League, as he felt that the Gaelic Union didnt concentrate on the living language.
To redirect to the Gaelic League is like redirecting the Fenian Brotherhood to the IRA, they are different, distinct organisations...  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fredbobhurst (talk • contribs) 10:49, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Gaelic Union 

message: Surely this is a much more modern title for this organization (Conradh na Gaeilge) and would reflect the 'modern' name 'Irish' instead of 'Gaelic' which is used for the language that it is allegedly trying to keep alive?
Isn't this supposed to be the English wikipedia!
English Wikipedia could then persuade the Gaelic Athletic Association to accept the title 'Irish Athletic Association', which I dare say would be more in keeping with the modern aims of the Association.(Note the recent appointment of a non-Gaelic speaking president, for example.) Really all references to Gaelic and Ireland should be  deleted, erased, expunged, forgotten, left out, precluded, so that the Wiki policy on reducing the obvious confusion that exists between things Gaelic and things Irish.Eog1916 (talk) 17:13, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: The Irish League (Conradh na Gaeilge)

message: Currently the article states: "The League's first newspaper was An Claidheamh Soluis" - is that because Gaelic Journal (published since 1882, run by CnG since November 1894 wasn't a "newspaper"? Finn Rindahl (talk) 16:18, 6 April 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  First newspaper 

message: "In contrast with nationalist political organisations and literary associations the League accepted women on an equal basis from the start."
I'm changing this because it isn't true. Women had a role in nationalist politics outside of the League such as Cumann na mBan, Constance Markievicz founding Fianna Éireann, etc Claíomh Solais (talk) 12:19, 28 November 2015 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: - can you please elaborate on your edit summaries, namely  and . You state that the removed text is partially inaccurate and that there is recent information that discounts parts of it without actually stating what bits and providing no evidence for it. If something is partially inaccurate then amend it to be fully accurate. 
The text you removed (the italic and bolded sentences below) is highly relevant to the stuff you didn't remove that comes before it. Indeed MacStiofan being the first chief of staff of the PIRA is highly relevant and important considering what the PIRA are in terms of politics and republicanism and how it is at odds with what the Gaelic League was meant to be. Indeed more should be made of the fact that quite a few of the organisations leaders and prominent members were Shinner's (the political wing of the IRA) or had connections to them.

thread_title: Removal of info

message: Hi all, I've been in contact with Conradh na Gaeilge, and the reason behind not wanting that information included in the article is that it is wrong, and out of date. They are working on a new branch locator that will provide correct information on branches in the near future, but what has been included here may be misleading to the reader. So the citation I added to the information on the CnaG website on their branches is out of date. We can open a discussion, but I think it might be best to leave the information off the article for the moment. Smirkybec (talk) 16:19, 6 February 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: , ,  the citation used to add the branch information has been removed from the CnaG website in an effort to stop the dissemination of incorrect information. Can we remove it now that there is no supporting citation? Smirkybec (talk) 12:38, 7 February 2020 (UTC)
