Nothing against Irish as a language at all - I am just pointing out far more people learn Frisian as their mother tongue.

Whereas Irish seems to be heavily promoted but for whatever reason precious few people learn it as their mother tongue, and those who do so are primarily in an area where it’s always been that way. For better or worse, people are preferring to use English at home and Irish is treated like a luxury good.
