Irish is a compulsory subject for passing the Leaving Certificate. in other words you have to be proficient in Irish

The Irish did not fight and die for their rights, only to have them taken away by a failing politician.
Poor old Enda is trying to gain favour with the EU and Immigrant Groups.
He is like a naughty child, trying anything to get attention.
Many Irish people would like to see the Irish Language made compulsory for employment,
