Seán Crowe (Dublin South West, Sinn Fein)

What I am saying is that some people will be rusty and not everyone will have a competency in the Irish language. This is the key concern among gaelscoileanna, which are worried about the quality of Irish among those entering the system. The gaelscoileanna are unique and many of their teachers are driven where the Irish language is concerned, which is reflected in the quality of teaching. The concern is that, if new teachers are not up to the required standard and are rusty, it will be reflected within the gaelscoileanna system.
