Very high indeed if they came. like most emigrants, from a rural area. English was imposed taught in the National Schools in towns,starting a generation earlier, but the actual impact in the countryside was minimal. "Flann O'Brien" satirises the standard of teaching in one of his stories but I can't remember which. I suggest you have a look at Brian Friel's play "Translations".
