Dr. Aodhán Mac Cormaic:

Last year, as Katherine said, we introduced this initiative of scholarships worth €850 for 50 students from DEIS schools to bring them to the Gaeltacht. We had a full uptake last year. Unfortunately, we were not in a position to award them this year due to the cancellation of the colleges. It is something we really want to do more of to try to encourage kids from lesser advantaged schools to learn the language and have access to it. It has been very much welcomed.
