Clare Island may become Irish language laboratory

"Reintroduction of the Irish language?"..... The Irish language is alive and well and going from strength to strength. There are currently over 170 primary schools and over 40 secondary schools outside the Gaeltacht regions in the 32 counties of Ireland in which education is taught through the Irish language. This is up from a total of just 16 Irish language schools in 1972. Furthermore parents are helping to organize new Irish language schools each year. "Tír gan teanga, tír gan anam. A country without a language is a country without a soul."— Pádraig Pearse
