@county_gains Gaelic culture is hanging on for dear life in Ireland- the current majority Anglo-Irish calling themselves Gaels is BS unless they earnestly learn the language
@eric_nelligan@fosandair Ireland was conquered and assimilated by the Anglos - to the extent that we have this self-loathing gaimbíneachas for our own Gaelic culture. Our nation will dissolve if we don't support and promote Gaelic culture. You will have achieved your desired goal
@eric_nelligan@fosandair You see it's not the future of the language, but the future of our nation that is underpinned by who we are and where we come from- the language encapsulates this and is recognized as such in our constitution
@anfothadh@doubledub48 I doubt Orla, the Galway candidate agrees with me.
Id say she puts emotional attachment to Irish above the logical reasoning behind not having it compulsory.
So why do you think students should be forced to take it for the leaving Cert?
