It’s only a northern flag, doesn’t mean I hate the Irish nationalists either or the Republic of Ireland as I don’t, I see myself as northern Irish British

I'm a fluent irish speaker. It's my first language, speak it every day with everyone I meet. But outside my aera where I'm from, it's useless, because no one else can speak it.

They be better off working on something else more worth while.

But nobody has ever said they can’t learn it, it’s not illegal to learn so it’s a waste of money in my mind too.

See, that I don’t agree with mate.

My boy is obviously useless other than a few words but his teacher is pretty relaxed about him.

However, I think it’s a fine and noble thing for a country to want to retain its culture and language and start with the youth......I only wish we did it in Britain.

Yes it is, Gale scoíls.

All the schools around here, every thing is in irish, everyone here speaks irish. I'm not talking for the whole country, just where i am.

But irish is taught, but there talk of striking it off the books.

I hope they don’t mate, one thing Ireland could certainly teach the UK is how to embrace and cherish its culture.

Flags flying outside the schools, history of its nation and its language.

No greater thing for a people to learn

Somethings have a value mate, your roots are one matter imho......bollocks to what anyone else is doing. 

[jetro 5,349]

I have to agree with wilf. 

Once you loose your culture and tradition, you have lost your identity. 

Our language is over a millennia old, in one forum or another, it would be a shame to loose it.
