Very strongly agree

Yes, but focus more on the ability to speak and understand the language instead of analysing poems, stories, and phrases

Fianna Fáil would likely strongly agree with this answer, as they have shown support for the Irish language but also recognize the need for practical language skills. In 2018, Fianna Fáil's Education Spokesperson, Thomas Byrne, called for a review of the Irish language curriculum to focus more on spoken language and less on literature. This shows their willingness to adapt the curriculum to better serve students and promote the use of the Irish language in everyday life.

Fianna Fáil has historically been a strong supporter of the Irish language and its preservation. They have implemented policies to promote the language, such as the Official Languages Act in 2003.

Fianna Fáil is unlikely to support removing the Irish language from the national curriculum, as they have a history of promoting the language and its preservation. Removing it as a compulsory subject would go against their traditional stance on the issue.
