Irish Translation Forum

Sorry, for posting another thread.

But I'm just talking to my friend in Co. Down, and his little brother went to a school that taught Irish, and when he went on web cam with his brother, he'd show off all the Irish he learnt in school. (So adorable)

But I just found out, that the new head mistress abolished Irish

Her reasoning was that it wasn't a valuable course, did not provide any useful knowledge to students, and was a waste of the schools resources.

I'm going to send her an email and it's not going to be nice.

Down county council was given an award last year for improving the availability of irish, and if i am right, i think they have the highest amount of irish schools per population... but that is all from memory... someone may research it and tell me i'm wrong

Still, one school with Irish especially a primary school, is a bad thing in our war on english :O

It's a very unusual move, what was the school called and we can find out more info.... start a campaign!

"invaluable" actually means "beyond value", so in other words, "very valuable"

Ah, ach níl daoine anseo cé as féidir leo mo chuid Ghaeilge a tuiscint.
