táim ag léamh alt suimiúil ar Nós agus chonaic mé an abairt seo;

nuair a dúirt sé gur cheart feasacht níb fhearr bheith ag páistí ar na cultúir agus ar na teangacha éagsúla sa Bhreatain féin.

Is níb just a variant of níos? I've never come across it before.

Actually it's either past or conditional. I'd say conditional here, just as in "gur" before.

nuair a dúirt sé gur cheart = when he said that it would be right... (you could also say with the same meaning: nuair a dúirt sé go mbeadh sé ceart...)
