For Fluent Speakers Of Irish

[debgor2]

I was reading about the lack of yes and no in the Irish Language. Can anyone explain why this came about? Is it a reflection on the inability to make a decision ?
I'm sure there are other languages which do not possess vocabulary for yes and no but this struck me as odd.
