Tough Times For Gaeilge
It has become apparent to me that the fight to save the Irish language may be a losing battle. I have completed my leaving cert, and am one of the few who partook of the Honours course. Why, when so many fought for our freedom, do we leave our national language by the side of the motorway, forever heading toward a souless Ireland? Dev said the chief characteristic of nationhood is language. With one in ten failing to do Gaeilge at all in our schools, is their any way to revive it? This humble student says 'yes'! gone are the days when we can force students to do anything, so, we must change with them. speaking Irish is the only way to save it.
