The Irish Language: A Portal to Imagination
Journalist Una Mullally argues that the Irish language is a joy, not a burden, offering a unique perspective on the world.
Despite a boom in Irish culture, record numbers of pupils are seeking opt-outs from compulsory Irish language learning, a trend Mullally considers misguided.
The Irish language, or Gaeilge, has experienced a revival in recent decades, with the number of schools teaching the national curriculum exclusively through Irish rising from fewer than 20 in the 1970s to over 200 today.
A 6% increase in the number of people able to speak Irish was reported in the 2022 census compared to 2016, highlighting the language's growing relevance.
In what other tongue is a penis a wild carrot?
According to Mullally, Irish is a portal to a world of imagination, and its preservation is crucial for the country's cultural heritage.
