LAW TO KEEP OUT NON-IRISH SPEAKERS:
-Communication with neighbors
-preservation of language and culture (tradition would be lost?)
-preservation of history (oldest vernacular language in Europe)
"We were here first" (invasion)
"We would lose 'emotion' connected with our language if we lose our language"
-cultural exchanges aren't always positive!
--Implications: historical, cultural, and nationalistic
LET NEW PEOPLE MOVE IN (WHETHER IRISH-SPEAKING OR NOT):
-New people and ideas :)
-boosts economy
-all people should have same rites
-Discrimination
-"EU won't respect us"
-Haven't the Irish been trying to promote Catholic/Irish RITES for decades??
-Preserving culture shouldn't be forced by GOV'T! It's parents' responsibility to teach their kids
-Language does not equal culture ("we can still eat, drink, play, etc 'Irish'")
-Isolated and backward? Would businesses want to move here?
-wouldn't the population be restricted to a certain gene pool that would run out of non-relatives??
--Implications: human rites, economic/financial, genetic
