We must reflect on the situation. I will not name schools but students in my constituency transfer from primary to post-primary on the basis of the sibling rule and from English-speaking speaking primary schools into a post primary school that uses the medium of Irish. Some 300 yards down the road, gaelscoil students have been taught through the medium of Irish in primary school but are not able to get into the post-primary school.
