Protecting the Irish language and its speakers doesn't take away from those who have lost their jobs etc, in fact, many of those speakers are in those very same circumstances in some of the most vulnerable places in the country.

I tried not to get into this but I have failed.. 🧵 Students can, and do leave the second level education system with a good level of Irish (I was one of them). Does that mean everyone leaves with language proficiency? No, but the same can be said of other subjects too.
