Conradh na Gaeilge demands rethink on English-teaching research

Irish language group Conradh na Gaeilge has demanded the Minister for Education rethink a proposal to teach English in the all-Irish Gaelscoileanna from the second school term onwards, without conducting further research.

Conradh na Gaeilge says children need to be totally immersed in the Irish language at the early stages of their education to counteract the presence of English in their everyday lives.
