Is it any wonder that competencies in Maths, Sciences and English among our young are falling behind the levels attained in other countries when so much time is spent teaching Irish in our schools.
The Irish language lobbyists would serve this country better if they existed in the real world where our school children need the knowledge and competency in multiple foreign languages and sharper Maths, English and Science skill levels. Too much time and far too many resources are spent teaching and learning Irish - result? On average 13 years learning and little or nothing to show for it in the end!
If students wish to pursue Irish as one of their chosen languages then by all means give then the time and resources but these resources should not be forced on those who don't want Irish.
