Fine Gael is coming under fire from the body that promotes the Irish language over its call for Irish to be scrapped as a compulsory subject in secondary schools.

Conradh na Gaeilge is staging a protest outside Leinster House this morning to highlight its opposition to the proposal.

It says Fine Gael's suggestions are anti-Irish, anti-academic and anti-European and says it will be calling on voters to transfer their support at the next election to parties that support the language.
