ÉIRE
An Conradh Ceilteach

Éire (Ireland) remains divided. The 26 counties of the Republic have, much to the annoyance of English colonial detractors, prospered financially with independence but their are many social issues that need to be addressed.

The language has a broad speaker base in the Republic due to the teaching requirement in school but the native speaker numbers are shrinking.

In the North, the language was effectively outlawed in schools until the 1990s. The troubles continue to divide society but the most intransigient elements of Unionism / Loyalism are being marginalised and the nationalist / republican voice is being heard.
