Will Irish ever become non mandatory in Secondary schools?

Question:

Answers:
Not likely, the opposition Fine Gael have said they would make it optional but I don't think thats a good idea.

It is supposed to be our first language, but whats wrong with it is that it is being taught wrong. By the end of secondary school students have a better knowledge of French and German than they have of Irish. After a certain point Irish teaching is repeated, I learnt the past tense in Irish four times, pupils are just going to zone out if they repeat the same thing over and over again.

They also should not have Irish literature ,with the same level of argument required as in English, in the same subject as language learning.

This government wont remove the requirement of Irish, but I don't think the majority of people given a choice of reforming or abolition of compulsoriness will choose the latter.
I didn't know it was mandatory. I never learnt it.
Hope so.
Not if I have anything to do with it!

You are joking. Irish people speak gaelic or they speak English with a heavy brogue accent. It is not nor will it ever be mandatory in schools. Ebonics has a better chance than gaelic in schools. Go think up some more funny questions. they're fun to answer.
I sincerely hope not.
