    I see that Gearth has placenames for each country in their native language. This includes Ireland. Populated places are in Irish, eg, Corcaigh, Luimneach, etc.

    Do you think these should be changed to English or is Google doing the right thing in keeping them in our first official language?

    but irish should be taken out of secrondary schools complete and utter waste of time

    yah, teachers standards of teching is a waste of time too....
    By leaving it compulsary: More will know Irish but wil hate it from school
    By removing the restriction: Less will know Irish, more will love it, those who chose to learn it, will love it

    ya by giving students a choice we can get rid of the ones who don't want to do it and be left with the ones who actually like the language and have a interest in it like how its done in the north

    i was fortunate enough to not do irish in school.. i now know more irish than a few friends that did it in the leavin cert.. ironic really.. the teacher how said i wont get far without irish in the leavin had a conversation with me and he couldnt understand how i knew it so well especially when i didnt have a tap of irish through school :D:D
    in conclusion.. when its not forced upon you, you'll leaarn it better ;)
