What is the importance of the Irish language for national identity?
Many aspects of Irish culture; Irish dance, music, and language were banned by the English along with Catholicism during Irish history. All the towns, counties, and provinces in Ireland were given anglicized names. When Ireland regained its independence, it reincorporated the Irish language back into the culture. Irish is also not a completely dead language, it is not like Latin. There are areas in the country which are predominately Irish speaking and RTE has many television programmes in Irish. All signs have both the Irish and the English versions of names. Learning Irish is needed to pass secondary school. Irish is also a main part of slang: Póg mo thóin=Kiss my butt. What's the craic?=What's going on? What's up? The majority of Irish placenames, family names, and many given names are from the Irish language.

What is the Catholic cathedral in Dublin Ireland?
A surprising fact is that there is actually no official Catholic cathedral in Dublin, though there are two cathedrals in the city. Christ Church Cathedral is the city cathedral and St. Patrick's Cathedral is the national-level cathedral. However, both are Protestant cathedrals. This originates from the changes that happened when Henry VIII was ruling Ireland and when he broke with Rome and established the Church of England. What Dublin does have is what is known as St. Mary's pro-Cathedral, which is Catholic. However, it does not have full cathedral status within the Catholic Church, which is why it's termed a pro-cathedral. St. Mary's is the "pro" (provisional) Catholic cathedral because Christ Church (founded as a Catholic church in 1030 AD and subsequently accorded cathedral status prior to its being taken over as a Protestant house of worship during the Reformation) has never been returned to the Catholic Church by the Church of Ireland (a member of the worldwide Anglican communion ).

Ireland split from Great Britain in the?
Ireland split from Great Britain on the 6th December 1922 under the Government of Ireland Act 1920.

And that's when the rows (arguments) started which reached it heights in the 70's & 80's.
