It depends on who I am around. I fail to see how this is relevant.

Many things written are irrelevant, RN. We've made the point in that language facilitates the development of the mind and it's an up and coming language.

But there are more beneficial up and coming languages other than Polish that the children could learn instead.

Honestly, do you think these changes would be implemented if it where not for the large Polish presence in Ireland?

That's a value judgement, what other languages?

Honestly, do you not think decisions are made based on such factors? Large presences signal that changes may be preferable.

I have been in correspondence with the department of education.

Ive mentioned the other languages ten time in this thread already. German, French, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese.

If there was only a small number of Poles here, do you really think this idea would even be entertained? Would it fook.

They are already taught in schools, RN. Well, three of them anyway.

Why should children learn Polish and not Japanese then?

Can you remind me how many Japanes living in Ireland compare to Poles.

Mass exodus doesn't justify priority of the new language

What then justify the above,unless Ireland close their borders and they can't do that according to EU.

Why then Polish has to be taught in Ireland when Irish are not interested in planning to settle in Poland?

At the moment Polish are immigrating to Ireland,

To RN
What do you think about Irish swamping(bit harsh) Uk and USA,in your case Spain(lots of translation provided to Irish geriatric in Spain).

Show me evidence of hundreds of thousands of Irish currently swamping the UK, America, or Spain, raghead.

Show me evidence of the local school children being forced to learn the Irish language, raghead.

Then you will have a point, raghead.

Yes, due to the large number of Polish children in Irish schools. At the expense of the Irish taxpayer. Not only will we have to pay to teach them English, now we will have to pay to teach them Polish.

Why do you expect me to back up your claims? Can't you do it on your own?

And you have learning disabilities or something? Logopeds are not that expensive.

At the moment Polish are immigrating to Ireland

Then learn the language, dah!

You seem to be quite knowledgeable about this subject, tell me what is the word among the Ukrainian community in Canada?

I have no idea what Ukrainian community thinks about the issue. I am telling what I think. I am no knowledgeable about the subject at all. But this is what I feel is right and I am expressing it.

Thank you for reminding me why I rarely visit this forum.
If anyone was looking for stereotypes, they'd hit the jackpot in here.
