      Great news, I’m currently learning and while a slow process it’s very rewarding.

      Honestly, it’s embarrassing talking to people from other countries and they don’t understand why we have no interest in our own language, I know more non-nationals actively learning Irish than I do Irish people.

      Great news. It’s very clear that the method of teaching Irish in English first schools isn’t working as a method to grow the language. The only way this can be done is by getting people comfortable using the language for normal scenarios, which a Gaelscoil is perfect for as a baseline. For Irish to really see a resurgence there will need to be a critical mass of people with ability to use the language in an everyday situation interacting with others who can also do so in order to normalise the practice.

      The motivations behind this have nothing whatsoever to do with the Irish language and everything to do with keeping children away from certain demographics in English-speaking schools who are highly unlikely to attend them. Let’s not be naive here.
