    This survey of 36 Irish respondents found that most had good or fair ability in Irish but used it rarely outside of school. While over 60% felt positively about Irish, only 31% considered it important to their identity. Most could conduct conversations in Irish but rarely read or used it at home. Respondents were divided on whether efforts to revive the language would succeed and on the importance of maintaining Irish in the Gaeltacht regions.
