For the record of the House, it is my understanding that that is an incorrect statement. That is not the basis to exclude someone from a Gaelscoil. In some cases, a parent might not even have English; the parents might not even be Irish. A parent's language or lack of Irish was never a reason for excluding anyone from a Gaelscoil.
