No it was the "I didnt bother my arse learning Irish. I think I'll teach geography" approach to teaching.

Bring them in this map.

Make them aware that there is a distinct possibility that they may end up here when they leave school as our economy will still be screwed when they do. You could bring in a map of the U.K, Canada or the U.S. That'll work just as well.

Gently remind them that they won't need any irish and the language they are speaking now will do them fine.

Yeah. Here we go again.

I can safely say, without a shadow of a doubt that I will never speak that language.

Final fix - Hi, I must teach a class on Monday on Irish counties but can't find a map on-line with all the counties in Irish. Does anyone know where I could find it on-line?

Hello Con.
May I suggest. 'The Anglicized Words of Irish Placenames" by Tom Burnell, Nonsuch publishing.
It covers everything you need to know.
Cheers.
