What is the role of native speakers of Irish today? Are there many left? How

Probably not too much, if one of the main figures of the Irish WP is a

The problem with the WP is that it was started by nerds who had little
idea of correct Irish. I tried to recruit some of my native or fluent
friends for it, but they had seen the highly embarrassing first stage
and didn't want to have any truck with it.
