Don't native Gaeltacht speakers have an unfair advantage in Leaving Cert Irish?
Anyone who speaks a language as a native speaker has an advantage. That said, they may not know the rules of grammar, or be good at writing essays, or at literary criticism, or at memorising poetry.So people who went to Gaelscoilleanna, or who come from the Gaeltacht, may have an advantage in fluency; but so do native speakers of German like myself (LC 1974, C in the Hons paper), or French, or Polish. The rest of us have to study. (LC 1974 French D, Italian D - I hated French and loved Italian, but did French for 5 years and Italian for 2.) I also got a C in Hons English. If I’d known about re-grading, I’d have asked for one. Oh well.

What is the most unfair advantage a person can have?
"most unfair advantage" is very context-sensitive:Most unfair advantage, when it comes to extra-ordinary performance in sports? Height and body-size.Most unfair advantage, when it comes to stock trading? Inside information.Most unfair advantage, when it comes to business success? Prior money and connections.Most unfair advantage, when it comes to cracking a Mensa test? A high IQ.Most unfair advantage, when it comes to parenting? Having grandparents around to learn from.Most unfair advantage, when it comes to a movie's success? Star power.Most unfair advantage, when it comes to blogging? Endorsements.Most unfair advantage, when it comes to product engagement? Prior Community.Most unfair advantage, when it comes to cake eating contest? A large mouth, a big tummy and fast hands.Most unfair advantage, when it comes to interviewing? Having seen the exact same questions before.So on and so forth.If this is a high-level question, about creating the most unfair advantage, then I believe it's: Obsession. (Obviously, we're talking about positive obsession, and not the clinical condition).A lot has been written about Success and Expertise. [An excellent summary can be found here]. One thing that most of these studies agree on, is that successful people were neither necessarily talented, nor necessarily born to wealthy parents, but they all necessarily obsessed with improving themselves to achieve their goals. Not just motivated, but obsessed.If the question however is about the most unfair advantage that is bestowed (and not in your hands), then by far it is: being born to loving parents in the right place at the right time. That gives a head-start and a level of confidence in life which nothing else does.

To what extent was the Treaty of Versailles unfair to Germany?
The attribution of full responsability to Germany was moderatly unfair as Germany was only mainly responsible for the war. Fair enough.But land reclaims essentially took back what Germany had - at least as unfairly - taken away from France and Poland and the calculation of reparations was proportionate to the damage caused and - more importantly- never fully paid.The fact that the treaty was imposed by the winners (Diktat) is a truism and Germany was as harsh and unfair when imposing its terms against France in 1871 or Russia in 1918.The prohibition to rearm was a moral slap but a blessing budgetwise which could have allowed to pay reparations as demonstrated by Hantke & Spoerer in "The Imposed Gift of Versailles: The Fiscal Effects of Restricting the Size of Germany's Armed Forces, 1924-1929 "The German population did not accept the Treaty because no fighting ever took place in Germany and military propaganda aptly pretended the army had not lost the war but that politicians had stabbed them in the back. Hindenburg and Ludendorff were justifiably considered as war criminals in the Treaty (rape of Belgium, use of gases, killing of civilian hostages...) but never indicted. Hindenburg became President in 1925 and nominated Hitler as chancellor in 1933, opening the way to even worse in WWII.In the end, the Treaty of Versailles failed because of the divisions between the allies. The US did not ratify and the League of Nations was a failed experiment. More importantly for Europe, the UK immediately feared France would dominate the continent and Keynes was commissioned to draw a critical analysis of the Treaty using suspicious data. This brought a lot of wind to the anti Treaty argumentation and the British sympathy to Germany prohibited preemptive action against Nazi Germany when it played the revisionist game.In retrospect, it is quite obvious to see who used the argumentation of Versailles’ unfairness and for what purpose.
What are Germany’s geography problems?
Historically, it was its central position with so many neighbours, which made it vulnerable to attacks. Currently, with European integration, this is less of an issue.The central position brought Germany an unfair advantage as well, as it kept asylum seekers out (due to the Dublin convention stating that asylum seekers have to apply at the first country of arrival in Europe, which is not Germany in most cases).
