    Even more than the RC stat, the Irish-language stats continue to baffle - 1.7 million (41%) of us claim to be able to speak Irish, yet only 1% of that use it on a daily basis.
    Imo, that's a fairly damning indictment of how Irish is taught in schools. You have 14 years of classes in it from a young age (known to be the best time to start learning any language) and you have to pass it in the Leaving to pass the whole thing. In theory, all the people of this country should be able to speak the language yet the figures say otherwise. This could be used as ammo for those who think we should scrap compulsory Irish, clearly, the current system isn't working.
