I teach in a Gaelscoil, we do not expect children to come from Irish speaking homes,it smacks to me of elitism. Have you actually seen their policy-I'd ask for a copy and see exactly what it says.

Ask for a copy of their enrollment policy.

No irish school in a non gaeltacht area only takes kids from irish speaking families some prioritise them eg Leixlip which I fully support but for example Maynooth allow brothers and sisters 1st.
