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)

I have moved it accordingly and added some explanation. – Kaihsu 18:17, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

Isn't this supposed to be the English wikipedia? I would never have understood what the title meant in any other titile but the English. 84.72.62.80 14:35, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Gaelic Union

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)

[edit] The Irish League (Conradh na Gaeilge)

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)
