Put our language on the map of Europe

WE demand that Irish be an official EU language. Article 8 of Bunreacht na hÉireann states that Irish is the first official language of the state.
Put our language on the map of Europe

If other EU countries are not given an opportunity to consider Irish as an official language, then it will become extinct.

The reason most Irish people do not like to learn Irish is because it is forced on them at school. But when you hear others speaking fluent Irish, you would be ashamed that you do not speak it, too. Please help us, the younger generation, to establish Irish as our living first official language.
