So Abewsed, you acknowledge that Gaelic was actually widely spoken in our county and all those Gaelic immigrants are part of our rich heritage? The term 'Gaelic Community' or 'Norse Community' is a contrived description that assumes whatever is in the majority, that be as maybe as I'm not disputing that fact, but it certainly doesn't describe a community in which a minority language is widely spoken. You just need to go that one step further to realise that gaelic has got as much a right to be promoted in the county as English.
We see that Gaelic has had its twists and turns of success throughout history, history may yet prove that Gaelic signage is the impetus for another.

God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
Courage to change the things I can,
And wisdom to know the difference.
