[ILUG] gaelic (aka, ugh, why do i read this stuff)

[P T MacRuairí]

Replying to John P Looney and Kevin Lyda on this matter - it might be a good

worthwhile exercise in diversity and equality to advance linux and would be
in contrast to M£ who have so far flatly refused to provide an Irish version
of its product.
