The Hard Shoulder
Minister for Education Hildegarde Naughton has said that there are no plans to open any new Irish-language primary or secondary schools until at least 2032.
There is much criticism of this move, even within government, as many communities across the country are seeking immersive Irish-medium education across the board, from early-years education right through to third-level education.
To discuss this further, Emmet Oliver is joined by Jen Cummins, Social Democrats Spokesperson for Education and TD for Dublin South-Central.
