Abolition of the forced teaching of Irish in schools of Ireland
Sign Now
We, the youth and concerned adults of Ireland feel Irish is a dead-or-dying language, and is unnecessaily taught in Irish schools. Upon leaving school we may never speak any Irish again. Teaching us a dead language is taking up class time, when we could be learning maths or english(a language we do speak).
We, the undersigned call for the necessary taking of Irish in Primary & Secondary Education to be removed, and be replaced possibly by a foreign(still-spoken) language, or perhaps the freed-up classtime could be used to reinforce the teaching time of other subjects.
Irish could be continued, if students feel the want or need, voluntarily & afterschool, with the creation of Irish Clubs,newsletters.etc.

Forcing generations of Irish school children to learn Irish has not led to a nation of fleunt speakers. Despite trumped up census data, the teaching of Irish in schools is deeply flawed and should urgently be examined to determine its continued value in o

Get rid of this backward, peasant language once and for all. Our culture is British. Get used to it.

I think its a waste of time learning Irish when the language isn't used in any other country.
