I will go along with what Pedro said. I would like to add that I feel many of the scholarly folk who are dead-set against loan-word are themselves at odds with native Irish speakers for whom the language is still a means to an end - ie. every day communication. Most native Irish speakers use an array of loan-words in every day speech. Just as English speaking Irish people use a whole host of Irish loan words.
post script. Elsewhere on this forum we've discussed loanwords in Irish/Scottish from Norman and Norse, which come from a time when these languages were alive and well ; so why should loanwords be considered a problem now-a-days? Academics get over it!
