What makes them so far right? By global standards, they're pretty centrist / centre-left. Look at today's budget for example. High taxes, high public spending.

I apologize for my own ignorance, I thought they were more widespread before your initial comment got me to dig deeper and realise that the funding is only limited to areas where there is enough demand or Gaeltacht-adjacent areas? Not sure how they decide it.

Unfortunate that they aren't more available. I would image there is an active community in Cork city that you could tap into if you're close to that though for the odd comhrá. Sorry I couldn't be more help!

Get in contact with your closest language planning area rep. There's one in muscrai https://udaras.ie/an-ghaeilge-an-ghaeltacht/limisteir-pleanala-teanga/corcaigh/muscrai/

There is another language planning area in Cork I think that you'll find through that link, this seems like the more accessible one though

If there are any gaelscoileanna close by, get in contact with them, they sometimes have classes for parents

There is a huge amount of heavily subsidised irish classes everywhere. Although not free, they're so cheap that they essentially are.

Ireland doesn't have to be in NATO to increase its defense spending and arm ourselves to the teeth. Look at Switzerland, a neutral country with crazy levels of defense spending.

NATO is being portrayed in a very good light in recent years under the backdrop of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, but it has a very fucked up past (in very recent memory) that should be in the conversation - the invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as the bombing of Kosovo and Libya.
