An piobaire fánach and tommykleen are both technically correct... yes and no does not exist as such.To be exact ye must listen to the question and use the same verb in the answer.But to ease life Tá and Níl have been introduced and as such are used.

rather than this silly "I'm a piper too", why not ask one of our illustrious moderators how many subscribers we have on the Uilleann Pipe forum?
