i would prefer to see useful languages taught in our primary schools
eg
french
german
chinese
the irish language is a waste of time and money in this country
All this enrichs people, and Irish does the same, but it also introduces children to one of the most ancient and richest cultures of Europe.
I dont disagree with this - but currently they way Irish is being taught in schools is having the effect of turning children off the language altogether. There is nothing stopping parents enrolling children in extra curricular Irish in the same way they do for a child who loves music or dancing. At the moment it just seems to be wasting classroom time.

Because the logic will become that all subjects not directly relevant to aquiring a job should be extra circular.
How many of the big multi-national companies require Irish? it cetainly will not help them to get a job.
What will the French speak if they get rid of french?
We dodn't have someone who could do it, ended up hiring a friend of mine who is an Irish teacher to translate it over a weekend.
And the same person could have put in a letter to Santa in Irish and nobody would know the difference.
