Any Irish person, part of the way they speak in English comes from Irish. It’s a little bit of part of what they are. Irish is kind of their language (Des Bishop)

The idea of having such a unique, special language as Irish and throwing it away is absolute foolishness.  (Manchán Magan)

Languages can improve communication, empathy and understanding, widen horizons, broaden minds and teach the ability to think. Genuinely educational as well as economically useful. They remind us that there is somewhere else and it is probably not like Dublin 4 (Andrew Gilligan, The Daily Telegraph)

Learning a new language or even refreshing your cúpla focail,is not a solo pursuit, it’s an ideal opportunity for engagement, making new friends, having new experiences with others, reaching a goal and having hope for the future.( Martin Rogan, Chief Executive of Mental Health Ireland )
