Department of Education portrayed as failing to act due to systemic inaction and legal gaps
The article emphasizes that the Department of Education has no legal mandate or procedural mechanism to establish Irish-medium secondary schools, framing it as institutionally passive or broken. This is reinforced by the absence of any contact method (phone, email, form) and lack of response despite inquiries, creating a narrative of institutional failure.
“There is no phone number, no email address, no form to fill in, no way to submit a request to the Department of Education to establish an Irish-medium secondary school.”
