Samenvatting:

Excerpt from Douglas Hyde: President of Ireland
When the movement for the revival of the Irish language was conceived, its founders, men of vision though they were, could hardly have foreseen the manifold aspects which their offspring would assume.
At first it was simply an effort to call back the spirit of an earlier Ireland. As the movement spread other reasons for the revival were realised, and to-day a hundred arguments based on its literary, educative, and even commercial value, have been advanced with effect.
