Neal \xd3 Riain is the boy across the road who your Mam compares you to. He literally has a PhD in Astrophysics, a fine job in London and \u2013 of course \u2013 fluent Irish. However, Neal is sweeter than his native Carlow\u2019s sugar refineries, and gave the world @antainbot (The best bot on Twitter) and Aireamhan, a coding language based on Irish.
