>Irish will be a fully fledged language of the EU by 2022, and the drive is on to recruit translators. Officials see it as a rare opportunity to get Irish people into EU institutions
>More than four decades after Ireland joined what was then the European Economic Community the country is about to reach another milestone in its membership of the European Union.
>In the coming months Ireland is to ramp up the number of Irish speakers working at the organisation, as Irish is due to become a fully fledged official working language by 2022. Irish became an official language of the EU in 2007, after heavy lobbying by the government of Bertie Ahern, but a transition period, or derogation, was granted to allow time to get a sufficient number of translators in place. Following a decision last December, that transition period will be phased out.
Good. Starting te3aching it in America where your "diaspora" lives
Justin Thompson
I'm ok with this.
I mean EU is about diversity, right? I prefer Irish as a official EU language then fucking arabic or something. Besides Ireland pays money so they should have privilidges as well.
Grayson Nguyen
Yes of course, more Irish people in EU institutions is exactly what is needed. After all let's not forget the famine.
Isaiah Robinson
Wait, Irish isn't a fully fledged language of the EU yet? Goddammit, even my language, catalan, hated by my country, Spain, is official there.
Benjamin Russell
Ah yes, wasting money by making the EU translate everything into your dead language, very impressive
Christopher Cook
Catalan isn't official (at least not in the same sense Irish is) you silly head. Irish is fully official but with a temporary period of derogation.
Lincoln James
Why don't the Eternal Hibernians just accept that they're Anglo now and forget >muh heritage >muh Irish identity >muh language?

>Officials see it as a rare opportunity to get Irish people into EU institutions You'd make for a shitty jew.
Jason Sullivan
Huh? I thought UK is leaving EU so why is it becoming an official language?
Ryder Butler
Fucking kill yourself brit scum. You killed it
Michael Cox
Hey Anonymous,
Your post seems to be based on two faulty premises. The more pertinent one being an assumption that the UK has any bearing on this whatsoever which is something of a non sequitur. Secondly you incorrectly assume that there is any possibility that the UK will leave the EU. I hope you have found these corrections helpful and I wish you the best in your future posting endeavours.

I was horrified the last time I was there.
Dublin and Cork were full of them, and Irish girls pushing prams with mulatto babies. It was revolting.
Joseph Sullivan
I don't think that ever happened. Those "Irish girls" were probably Polish or Russian or something tbqhwyatm.
Gavin Evans
I hope Gaeilge never dies.
Gabriel Anderson
The potato is right. It tends to be Poles and other Eastern Euros that do the racemixing when they move to Western countries for some reason.
Juan Anderson
This is true, back when i lived in paris my neighbour, , a russian woman had a 14yo daughter with a black dude

Isnt polish more popular language in Ireland than irish?
Ethan Robinson
Polish speakers use Polish on a daily basis more often due to their ghettoised nature. Irish speakers are greater in number but are more dispersed, with the unfortunate result that they don't have other speakers to speak it with only a daily basis.

>meanwhile we have people saying that it would be beneficial for us to learn english as our first language instead
Isaac Lee
>Sweden
Seriously, I think that if American domination goes on for 100+ years, we'll have our languages replaced by English because it will be learned as a first language at school, and French-Swedish-whatever would be quickly discarded as outdated and useless.
Basically all European languages could be more dead than Gaulish in 200 years.

>spending money on irish Embarrassing.
Scotland improved immeasurably when we cleansed the Highlands of gaylick speakers.
Then again, Scotland has an entire germanic culture in the Lowlands which is historically separate from Highland culture. If you were to give up on Irish you'd be the biggest cucks in Europe (if you aren't already).
Christopher Turner
Literally nobody gives two shits about Gaelic in Scotland
Most of our ancestors never even spoke it
Brody Wood
Since Ireland is irrelevant, it's okay.
Leo Walker
only problem is irish is thought as a first language to those who don't know it as a second, which is why we're all shit at it.
it should be taught how foreign languages are
Evan Wood
thanks japan.
Jeremiah Johnson
Nigerian girl in my class actually spoke better Irish than most of us in the class.
