This paper provides a summary of the proceedings of a public lecture and a seminar conducted by William F. Mackey, on "Options for Language Promotion by Means of the Education System" and "Implications of Bilingualism," including the question and answer sessions. Part one, summarizing the lecture, discusses the role of the educational system, the use of Irish in the community, and the attitudes of the public. Part two, summarizing the seminar, discusses what state institutions, other agencies, and individuals can do to promote the use of Irish. It is felt that while two thirds of the population wish to see at least as much Irish in use as English, this cannot become a reality unless skills are improved and maintained, and that this cannot be done until there is some agreement on how the survival of the Irish language can be ensured.
