What are they marching about? Like you cant beat Irish into kids any further than they get it now and not a lot of people want or need to speak it.

Sráid Uí Chonaill, you mean?

The One Who Knocks

Seen a woman on the news with a kid that couldn't speak a word of English, absolutely ridiculous!

She's limiting his opportunities in this world by teaching him a dying language as his primary, I think it's very selfish of her.

I have no problem with him being taught Irish, we all need cúpla focail, but the fact that he couldn't even understand English was shocking, it's essentially the universal language of the world.

Do we? :rolleyes:

The fact that we are required to doesn't mean we need to.

You're right, need's the wrong word but it's nice to have it, that's what I mean.

Watch this thread attract the west British element pointing out that the Irish were subjugated and should know their place.

Consonant. Consonant. Vowel. Consonant. Vowel. Vowel. Then two more consonants.

You might find it nice. Others would like an option.

Were they marching for more Irish classes? Lol

She was talking thru her hoop. She wanted HSE to provide Irish speaking medical staff for his developmental check ups.

Was this a scholarly Irish language march or was this an ooh ah up the ra Irish language march?

I think this was the same woman whose main complaint was when she brings the kid to the local doctor, the doc can't speak in Irish to the kid.
I'm not sure what to make of that. is it a right your local GP can speak as gaeilige, even if you have another common language?

I think your point is ridiculous frankly. He'll obviously start learning English when he goes to school. Your point that it's the universal language of the world could be used as reasoning for everyone to speak English as a first language, but that's nonsensical of course. Should all minority languages just be allowed to die because English is more globally relevant?


Tá súil agam go ndéanfaidh an rialtas rud éigin láithreach chun an suíomh a fheabhsú do Ghaelgóirí ar fud na tíre. Níl sé ceart nach bhfuil siad ábalta baint usáid as ár dteanga náisiúnta nuair a bhíonn siad i dteangmhail leis na seirbhísí stáít, dar liom.

I'd rather be a west Brit than a gombeen. :rolleyes:

If it's a march to guarantee that Irish will be taught properly in primary school then i'm in because it's shocking how badly it's taught at the moment.
If it's so that Irish remains compulsory - Go bac libh.
