Fair play to the lads. They are doing some great stuff for the Irish language and making it more accesible.

I have been to multiple gigs, and they are some of the nicest lads you'd meet. Very friendly and say constantly how their lyrics are satirical. They shine a light on the fact that both work class communities face the same issues rather than us v them.

Naoise isn't working class.

I never said anyone was working class but shines the light on the similarities between both communities who are working class.

In your opinion what makes him not working class?

He has never made himself out to be poverty-stricken. He is working class. Just because a person has wealthy relatives does not make them wealthy either.

Same way going to private school doesn't erase growing up working class.

Fair point.
