i dont know why the second language shouldnt be irish,where i come from people take clases for languages they never will use,the language were i am are english followed by spanish and rarely french,but people learn japanese ,german,chinese and other languages that dont have a comunity where i live,it just sounds cool to learn,at least when you learn the irish language ,it the second language,not a language from a culture you probly never see,i had 2 friends try to learn jappanese,to this day they never use it ,not once did they travel or go anywere they can use it,what a waste,i know only 2 japanese people and they speak english.Learn a language that will be used in your community, and if it is irish,why not.

Nice one Bob. I thought I was the only one there who thought Gaelic / Irish was the fascistic waste of money that it is. I’m sick of having wankers like the two posters before you telling me it’s MY language. It’s fucking not. Why don’t you two fuck off to the Gaeltacht, you two Shinner voting cunts? Fuck off, you bigoted scumbags, with your exclusive, racist view of what constitutes Irishness.

I’m Dublin by many generations, and it’s more likely my ancestors spoke Hiberno-Norse, as well as Hiberno-English, rather than the Paddy Pearse inspired “Irish” they tried to indoctrinate us in school with.

I agree totally original post.

That really hurt. I love annoying shit heads like you. Tell me what the culture is. The only people that have a culture over here are The Travellers. And they’re knackers.

doesnt matter what the second language is,everyone has to learn the majority language.and people discriminate against the minority,where i live the second language is spanish,but peple learn french or japanesse but have no reason,English dominates and it the forth most spoken language in the world,and the funny thing is people learn languages that are not even spoken in thier nation,at least if you learn irish in irland their is others who speak it dailey.

Guys, guys, guys. I have been honoured and privileged to have been brought up learning both Irish and English. I also hold a diploma in German and found learning a third language much easier having had a bilingual background. All of my German friends spoke their mother tongue and English fluently. Indeed those friends of mine from Wales were proud to speak their mother tongue and English even though they are supposed to be ‘British.’ There is no reason why we can’t be bilingual like many countries throughout the world who have embraced bilingualism and have done so without much effort. Our Irish language is part of what we are. Let’s stop speaking about and let’s start actually speaking it. Otherwise, we are just another province of the United Kingdom.

Byrne, you’re a fucking idiot. Surely you known that anyhow but here’s the point: Aside from Ireland, it’s past, present and future going down the shitter in general, it is not helped by those who’s outlook and identity is centred solely on american international pop culture horseshit. Sure 30 mill is wasted on a shiznit readers in a painful effort to teach these ‘tards anything, nevermind a language. The EU owes us, the fuckers have thrown away what little sovereignity we won over the last 800yrs, besides the fact they’ve nicked over 200mill in fishing stocks from our own shores, also illeagal immigration costs and accomodation has cost this gov 1.5 billion euros in the last 10 years yet not a word is mentioned on it, due to a “political correct” silence in association with cheap labor interests.
