Mary Kennedy was on RTE 2FM the other morning outlining her stance on the Irish language.
She stated that “there is great love and affection for the language amongst the general population”. Eleven seconds later she said that “if it wasn’t compulsory in schools it would die”.
The sound that was clearly discernible at that point was that of Ryan Tubridy steadying himself against some furniture in the studio.
Tubridy, a man who has been up close and personal with some astonishing levels of bullshit in his time needed a moment to steady the ship in the wake of such a declaration.
And I hoped that once he regained his composure that Tubridy was going to reel Mary in on this. But alas it did not happen; evidently Tubridy declared inwardly that, on this Wednesday when I am in good form and enjoying my life, I will not even go there.
“There is great love and affection for the language amongst the general population….. If it wasn’t compulsory in schools it would die”.
Which all begs the question; with advocates like this who needs opponents?
