Earlier in the programme we heard about a new policy and a plan which has been announced to strengthen the teaching, learning and use of Irish language in schools.
We spoke to General Secretary of Conradh na Gaeilge, Julian de Spáinn, who said it's welcome, but more needs to be done to tackle the decline of the language.
Minister for Education and Youth Helen McEntee unveiled the policy for Irish-medium education and an action plan for Irish in English-medium schools on the shared campus of Gaelscoil Bhrian Bóroimhe and Swords Educate Together National School.
Minister McEntee said the department will work to ensure that \"children have more opportunities to experience Irish as a living language outside of the classroom\", and
Minister McEntee joined us on The Agenda this morning to talk to us some more about this.
We also sp0oke about parents and guardians being urged to take part in the largest ever survey about ethos of primary schools and that announcement that leaving cert adjustments are to continue next year
