Well spoken

IF we as a nation want to reclaim our language, the best thing we could do is to offer students schooled through English a high points course in purely conversational Irish.

Subjects like ‘Peig’ and ‘Prose and Poetry’ are secondary until one can speak the language.

Imagine the nation’s pride if all students from Blackrock, Glenstal or Newbridge College were able to speak Irish as competently as those in the Gaeltacht.
