He's been problematic for a long time. Does things his way or for his own credit rather than with actual considered thought. Very up and down for a long time on trans rights and only corrected himself recently.

We had 2 hours of Irish every Monday focused on lists of vocabulary and absolutely nothing about speaking or communicating from teachers who moaned about being bored, uninspired by us and underpaid.
