If only there was a simple solution to this problem.

It should honestly be optional full stop. I wasn’t diagnosed until adulthood and was allowed to struggle all through primary and secondary school because I didn’t meet the criteria for an exemption.
Edit: And the fact that I didn’t have a decent Irish mark also severely limited my choice of college, which I believe is DEEPLY unfair.

In my opinion there shouldn’t be exemptions. This is the home country of the language it lives or dies depending on us speaking it. Reform how it’s taught is the best option

Around 10 to 17% of children are dyslexic. Maybe you should untie Irish from universities. They need exemptions so that they can have a future. We don’t throw them into the ditch anymore and call them dumb because we’re modern we have science and we understand how these children learn and for a lot of them a second language requirement will limit their future opportunities. Personally, I think that it’s a disgrace that there is no additional needs schools, and that we are failing this population of kids. I find the Irish have a very low understanding of special needs, the country needs to elevate an educational system to understand this population and do a better job educating them

Should be an optional subject after primary school. Should be reforms on how it is taught in primary and secondary school to make children want to choose it. In fairness apart from watching TG4 and a few niche jobs there’s no use for it once finished school.
