Indeed. Not only that, but your kids also get a Leaving Cert which is
completely biased towards them, and several college courses which offer
them entry for lower points.

This isn't "encouragement", it's "discrimination". And lets face it, the
gaeltacht people are merely milking the system for the most part anyway.
My own experience is that the majority of them use English as their
primary language, except when someone appears to be checking.
