I literally wrote a book about how people got ARRESTED for trying to speak Irish to police in Ireland, don’t given me this feigned respect and reverence for Irish.
Dr Gearóidín McEvoy@garodean.bsky.social · 2mo agoDid you know that we deny Deaf people in Ireland the opportunity to learn Irish in school? Because it’s deemed that they wouldn’t be able.

1. The fees cited include 23% VAT (goes back to the exchequer) 2. Legal aid fees are paid into the law firm’s bank account and used to pay staff salaries, &often split with barristers in District Court 3. I oppose the new fees and I might have made a few hundred in criminal legal aid last year 🤷♀️
