Policies towards the Irish language
As a Welsh speaker I am curious as to the position of the Irish language. In Wales Welsh has official status and road signs are bilingual and documents are available in Welsh and English. When the Free State was established in 1922, what policies were implemented regarding the Irish language eg did Irish have equal status with English and were signs bilingual and documents were available in Irish immediately after the creation of the Free State or were such policies implemented later. In Wales the Welsh Language Society fought from the 1960s onwards for Welsh to have the status it has today. Were there similar campaigns in Ireland.
