A wide-ranging consultation was undertaken to ascertain the perspectives of a range of participants on the teaching and learning of Irish in primary and post-primary schools. This report examines the opinions and experiences of children, young people, parents, teachers, student teachers and principals in both primary and post-primary education. On the whole, participants expressed a clear desire to learn Irish, in principle, but signalled a range of challenges that hinder learning and progression in the system. Participants offered a series of recommendations to work towards a more successful, inclusive and stimulating environment for learning, teaching and assessing Irish.
