A campaign to reclaim the linguistic heritage of madraí na hÉireann!
The dogs of Ireland have been saddled with names more suited to the streets of London than the beaches, bogs and byroads of Ireland!
It's time for a....
Ruffolution!

DOGS DESERVE FADAS TOO!
I was AR BUILE / MAD when I was told that one of the largest pet stores in cathair na Gaillimhe / Galway couldn't engrave a 'fada' on my name tag!
I decided this just wasn't good enough...
and the Ruffolution was born!
A REAL PAWPOSE
My days are now filled with real pawpose, as I've made it my mission to Gaelicise the dogs of Ireland.
President and Founding Members:
"Madra amháin ag an am. One dog at a time."
Uachtarán / President
Every dog has a right to a fada, and there was NO WAY I was going to stroll the prom in Galway with 'Ali', 'Allie', or 'Alley' on my name tag! (English spelling is crazy! 3 ways to spell a word!).
Dogs have a right to a fada.
Not only that, I'm calling on the dogs of Ireland to GAELICISE!
Reclaim the fada!

"As soon as I heard about the Ruffolution I wanted in"
Founding Member and Northwest Representative
As soon as I heard about the Ruffolution I wanted in! I ditched 'Bonnie' and now only answer to 'Banaí'.
Although I used to enjoy chasing tennis balls for hours on end I always had a niggling feeling something was missing.
What can I say? Once I reclaimed my fada everything just fell into place!

"I will work tirelessly to ensure every dog gets to reclaim his or her Gaelic identity."
Founding Member and South Galway / North Clare Representative
Listen, I'm a hard-working dog (no chasing tennis balls for me!), but once I commit to something I commit!
After a long day rounding up sheep you won't find me resting on my paws!
No sir!
I'm out there, spreading the movement on neighbouring farms, and loving every minute of this important work!
