Dingle pupils protest against Irish language lessons…

PUPILS at a Kerry school are protesting against its all-Irish policy, as, according to the Indo, ‘they are finding it difficult to learn because it is not their first language and they are not fluent in the language’. One parent said: “”A lot of them in class feel that they don’t understand what’s being taught to them. They’re having difficulty with the strict all-Irish policy. They feel it’s very restrictive and don’t fully understand what’s happening within the class.”
