Also some details from someone who recently sat the Leaving Cert through Irish: http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/letters/2008/1212/1....html
A few points to help the language after centuries of linguicide are a good thing. I am from America and I am struggling to learn Gaelic because, as anyone knows, language is the first (or was it last) defense of a culture. I'm hardly Irish (meistens Deutscher) I am going to go so far soon as to do all my publications and software As Gaeilge. Speaking the language of imperialist oppressors debases a person and his family. The language will need our help to survive. Sure, the "language apartheid" argument has merit. It is unfair. But so are reparations. That's the point. I would imagine the debate would be similar to affirmative action. Of course, I really don't know anything, but I would like to learn, hopefully, as Gaeilge. Language is so critical to thought (I believe in something along the lines of the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sapir-Whorf_hypothesis ). It is for this reason that I am studying Gaelic. To those who are interested, I am planning on scanning in free etexts of hundreds of books written in Irish. In fact I should move on this particular project. If you can help me with this in some way, please email me at andrewdo+irish@frdcsa.org . Thanks.
Given that students being taught through Irish schools are at a disadvantage at second level in that a lot of books are not available in Irish the points are fair. When all the subjects have books in Irish the extra points should be gotten rid of. But not until then...
