About LinkBacksI was just wondering about the government introducing some form of test in English language or Irish history before granting naturalisation for irish citizenship to wannabe Irish, any thought on that ?

May be i will get an interpreter paid for by the government if i am one of the immigrant with intention of becoming irish citizen and the questions must be like the theory test of provisional licence.Originally Posted by PaintingMedium

To be honest how much is it costing the state on interpreters now ?

I am not sure how much it costs. It is not a bad thing though as there are hundreds of different languages spoken so we do need to employ people who are multilingual.

"The HSE revealed it had spent €754,859 on translation and interpretation services last year" 210 different languages !
"The courts service spent €2m on interpreters last year and if you consider that people get sick more often than they end up in court, there is an underspend by the HSE,"
Some brief and general overview of recent Irish history and culture and so on would be a good idea. Of course a competency in English should be a pre-requisite but to hell with the Irish language. Lets be reasonable shall we.

If you choose to live in a country of course you have to learn their language - can you imagine going to live in Denmark or whatever and never ever making any effort to learn the language - ridiculous. And I don't see why immigrants should be spared being forced to learn IRish - if they want to have the Irish experience that includes being forced to read that about that miserable wagon Peig - you just know she was secretary of the local cumman - she is so the Dev type.
Because Irish in a minority language not spoken by the fast majority of native peoples
In relation to Irish history again how many Irish people do you think will pass.

Era the basics like war of independence, civil war, troubles in the north etc. would be sufficient. Not in great detail or anything.
