Buona fortuna a chiunque faccia gli esami irlandesi oggi. Spero che questo possa darti una bella risata prima di entrare.

It’s always worth mentioning that the people who hold most sway over Irish – teachers, creatives, etc, who speak the language – benefit indirectly from the current system.

If you’re an Irish teacher and a fluent speaker (not always one and the same) and your kids are equally capable, they get bonus points for doing the exam in Irish. Furthermore, there are college courses, jobs, etc, that nobody else can ever do.

Making Irish more accessible to everybody wouldn’t exactly help them. It’s not the case that they’re conspiring to keep the rest of us out, merely that it’s easy to support a system that benefits you and your family.
