Tá an Ghaeilge fíor-luachmhar dúinne, ní amháin toisc gurb í teanga ár n-oidhreacht agus ár stair í, ach ina theannta sin, gurb inti atá ceann den iomad slite éagsúla le maireachtáil sa saol seo, le léargas a bheith againn ar an saol sin, agus leis an saol sin a

chur i bhfocail.

Not to learn Irish is to miss the opportunity of understanding what life in this country has meant and could mean in a

better future. It is to cut oneself off from ways of being at home
