I see where you're coming from but No, I do not.
If Irish people went to Poland, do you think Poland would make Irish an official language? I know Irish isn't that common here but it's still our heritage.
Poland is a whole different country too so even though there is loads of polish people in Ireland, I'm still totally against making it an official language.

Absolutely not. Irish is the official language (even if nobody can speak Irish) for historical and cultural reasons. The Poles have been moving to Ireland in recent years and they'll stop migrating at some stage when there won't be good job opportunities for new immigrants in this country anymore. |

Guaranteed Irish!!!

not a hope in hell!!!i hear there are talks to introduce it in a school in ballbriggan i think that's pathetic we are turning into a PC nation bowing down to others for fear of upsetting would we be granted all that and more that polish or whoever get here you can bet your backside we would not!!!! |

no i don't think it should
english is the majority language so that's the way it should say
just keep english and irish ,well keep irish to satisfy the irish language nazis that ruined irish for me in school |
|
I should be doing something else
|
Well there are already two, and that's plenty, as others have said the Polish population will probably shrink within the next decade or so anyway. All the Polish people I have spoken to over here all intend to go back to Poland eventually, a lot of them still have families and children there etc, so I don't think there is any need to make it an official language. |

I dont think that will ever happen. But you should be able to learn it in school. Im my school you could only choose between French or German, thats standard in all schoold although a few offer Spanish or possiblty Italian. You should be able to do Polish or even better Russian. Thats far more useful, where i live in Dublin it would be anyway. I hear as much russian as i do english. |

There may be more fluent Polish speakers than fluent Irish spreakers in Ireland, but the vast majority of people in Ireland are still Irish and the Poles are a small minority. The majority of Poles are not expected to remain in this country on a permanent basis anyway. In order to make Polish an official language Im fairly sure the Irish constitution would have to be amended (I could be wrong however). What would be the point in doing this when the Polish population could have shrunk within the next decade?
After Christianity, Islam is the biggest religion in this country. Should Arabic become an official language? In my opinion, no.
Presently, we have two official languages. That is enough. |

Well there are more polish citizens than irish in most of the big cities now.
Now, if most of the irish citizens were fluent in polish, I would understand the plea but now... ? Nope. Let's just stick to Irish and English being the official languages in Ireland. The fact that the newspapers are half written in polish is already bad enough. |

No it shouldnt, thats rediculus! they are polish,not Irish - they are from Poland - not Ireland....
IRISH is Irelands official language, not everyone may speak it on a daily basis,but we are not going to loose it to the polish language |

Ha Ha! Good one. From what my cousins say, you are having the same problem with eastern Europeans as we are with Mexicans in the States.
Actually, we used to have lots of Irish and English working at our seaside communities in the summer. It was great. Now it's all eastern Europeans. So they're making they're way here too. |

Irish wasn't introduced as a European language til last year and it is one of the oldest languages in Europe, so I think that the same thing shouldn't happen to Polish, but then we would have to do the same for Chinese because there are more Chinese in Ireland than Polish, and there are too many other major languages in Ireland now. I think that Chinese, Indian dialects, Polish, and Pakistan dialects should be language options in second level school, as opposed to the French, German, Italian and Spanish that we are forced to learn, ever though they are not majority languages. |
