Last year, amidst all the indecipherable pre election noise about senior bondholders, collateralized debt obligations, bank guarantees, reputational damage etc. there arrived one, solitary soundbite which grabbed the attention and raised the hopes of every right thinking person in the country.
One tiny morsel of sense at the banquet of bullshit. “Irish will no longer be compulsory for the Leaving Cert.” Oh how we rejoiced, the tyranny was finally coming to an end, forty years too late but ending nonetheless. Parents and kids up and down the country samba danced together in the streets – it was a Rio beach party, Mardi Gras and Lollapalooza combined. God almighty we’re free at last.
So now fifteen months later how are the plans progressing? They’re not. WTF. Enda? Ruaidhri? I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt, you’ve been busy, and maybe you just haven’t got to it yet. But you better.
