An Ghaeilg i gCluain Daimh / Irish in Clonduff

"... In Clonduff, where information is fullest, it is clear that children born before 1840 were generally raised with Irish; Irish was still quite widely used in the 1880s; fluent speakers were not difficult to find in the 1890s, and at least one man knowing some words of native County Down Irish was living as late as 1945."
