J.J. Lee ar an nGaeilge oifigiúil / J.J. Lee on official Irish (1993)

“The failure, however, did not lie in the schools. It was the blatant failure of the state itself to devise arrangements for the subsequent use of the language that largely discredited compulsory Irish. The children were given no incentive to master Irish as a living language, only as a dead one. The charade of Irish language tests for public employment, when everybody knew the language would hardly be used again, the whole fetid system of favouritism associated with language knowledge, as distinct from language use, inevitably left its mark, stamping the most idealistic and most important task undertaken by the new state as yet one more sleazy political racket. Genuine language lovers who ‘loathed the way that politicans, the pedagogues, the urbanised peasants had sucked the life and beauty from it’ were brushed aside. The characteristic combination of hypocrisy and incompetence precluded any possibility of increasing the number of Irish speakers, as distinct from increasing the nominal command of the language among a broadly benovolent but apathetic and sceptical public. As a French observer has commented, the state ‘fulfils the letter of the project, the better to betray the spirit…it prefers to use Irish as a sort of symbol of nationality, more of less relegated to a ritualistic and ceremonial role.’
