Brendan O’Neill claims activist Iben Joseph urged dropping Irish-language requirements for primary teachers

What was said

"“she said primary schools in Ireland should stop making it a requirement that teachers should be able to speak Irish because that excludes African-born Indian-born teachers who don't speak Irish.”"

Brendan O’Neill says an activist he names as Iben Joseph argued that Irish primary schools should not require teachers to speak Irish, because it would exclude some overseas-born applicants. O’Neill presents this as an example of what he views as pressure to dilute Irish cultural protections.
