In this episode of The Language Question podcast, Éamonn Ó Dónaill, author and educationalist, talks about the obstacles facing the Irish language. We discuss the challenges of both teaching and learning the language, as well as the current state of the language in Ireland. As well as giving us his unique take on the language, Éamonn highlights something that he says he finds distressing, the crisis in the Gaeltacht and the lack of any real debate on that subject outside of Irish language communities.
