Rabbitte's TV tax quietly dropped

I'm not disputing what you say. The approach at school etc. is wrong. Students leave secondary and they still can't string a sentence together.

The only way Gaeilge will survive is to encourage its use as an everyday spoken language. And of course, get rid of the 'compulsory' aspect of it.

Re. other languages ... who decides which are the most important and get priority in the school day? What about Chinese?

Personally, I'd love to see more (structured) investment in IT in schools.

Err RTE tried to close longwave a few weeks ago but they had to back down because they got bombarded with complaints about elderly irish living in england losing their only lifeline

If RTE actually provided good TV then people might pay their TV tax.
You dont actually own anything in this life,as everything you have or own gets taxed by the goverment.
I get my TV channels from the UK and much further abroad via a 100cm satelite system,so why should I pay the goverment for that when its not RTE.
