Sending kids west for Irish school pays lip service to the language

Victoria White argues that the Irish language is presented to students in a time warp.

THEY were told to zip their jumpers up and stand straight when they were singing the national anthem. I’m left wondering does everyone have to pledge allegiance to the Irish State if they’re learning Irish in the Gaeltacht?

I’m wondering if it would it be out of the question to be an Ulster unionist and learn Irish at one of our Irish colleges. I’m wondering if it’s out of the question to go to Irish college if you’re not Irish.
