Brian Hayes, the Fine Gael spokesman on education, is clearly not going to be outdone by Mad Merv up the North. The genius proposal of this highly-remunerated parliamentarian would be to segregate the children of migrants from the rest of their classmates until they can speaka de English properly. This, apparently, would be for their own good.
There is no need to adjust your computer screens, ladies and gentlemen, you read that correctly the first time around.
Indeed, as a former teacher himself, Brian might even go so far as to recommend nursery rhymes as a good way to start building up these children’s vocabulary.
“Hey, hey foreign kid
Have you any English?”
“Yes sir, yes sir,
But only some.”
“Get thee to the immigrants class
And stay away from all our best.
Your parents, by coming here,
Have made you quite the pest.”
