While the numbers sitting their Leaving Certificate exams has dropped every year for almost a decade, the SEC figures show a 7% rise in the numbers taking honours Irish. Almost 900 students more than last year took higher level Irish in June. This means that nearly one-in-three of the 44,000 taking the subject chose the tougher paper.

De réir figiúirí a chuir Coimisiún na Scrúduithe Stát ar fáil inné, d'aimsigh 12.9% grad A sa scrádú Ard leibhéil agus, san iomlán, fuair 82.9% idir grad A-C sa scrúdú ceanna. Fuair isteach is amach le 16% grad D sa scrudú Ardleibhéil agus ní raibh ach 1% ar theip orthu sa scrúdú.

San iomlán rinne 13,831 an Ghaeilge ag an Ardleibhéal. Is ionann sin agus méadú thart ar 900 ar an méid a thug faoin ébhar ag an ardleibhéal anuraidh.

beidh siad do mo bhodhrú timpeall na tíre anois lena gcuid Gaeilge blasta á labhairt os ard acu...gan amhras

Aye, an cheist ann ná cé mhéad acu siúd a bheidh ag leanúint leis an teanga ina saoil...

Deáscéal sin pé scéal.

Sciar ana bheag.
Ach sin an fáth go bhfuil sé tabhachtach go mbeadh an líon mór!

Gné eile den scéal:

About 10 per cent of Leaving Cert students did not sit an exam in Irish this year. In all close to 5,000 students were exempt from the exam.

Although some of this is due to greater numbers of foreign nationals in Irish schools and increased recognition for special-needs pupils, the department's inspectorate has expressed concern about the trend.

Concerns have been raised that some students are gaining the exemption easily, opting out of Irish and concentrating on other subjects.

beidh siad ar nós na mílte Gaeilgeoirí eile a fhreastalaíonn ar na Gaelscoileannaí.. ag labhairt na Gaeilge anseo is ansiúd... chuile áit!
Táim tinn tuirseach a bheith ag éisteach leob is a gcuid Gaeilge ghlórach.

Óra, níl ann ach inimircigh de chuid is mó i ndáiríre. níl meas nó suim dá laghad acub sa teanga nó cultúr na tíre leis an fhírinne searbh a rá

An bhfuil an ioróin ag briseadh amach ionat, a Mhise Féin?

Fhaigheann lear mór boiceanna meanaicmeacha diolúine ón nGaeilge ar an mbonn go bhfuil deacreacht foghlama acu mar dhea. Chuige sin atá an Roinn Éadóchais ag cuir ceisteanna.

Dúirt Hanafin go raibh sé ar intinn s'aici "Looking into these figues and hopefully reverse this trend"

Athrú níor tharla.

Ionadh orm? Níl

Mar a tharlaíonn sé Aonghus tá's agam féin mar mhac léinn le fiontar go mbeidh cúrsa úr nua ag tosnú an mhí seo chugainn (dá thoradh borradh ar an líon ag leanúint leis an dteanga..)
Iriseoireacht & Gaeilge an cúrsa atá i gceist. Gnó agus Gaeilge a cuirtear ar an gcúrsa gnó na laethanta seo.

Dúradh liom go raibh éileamh maith go leor don iriseoireacht.. Agus na torthaí anois amach beidh le feiceáil...

"An bhfuil an ioróin ag briseadh amach ionat, a Mhise Féin? "

cén íoróin é sin?
