Question 233: To ask the Minister for Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs if there will be a reduction in payments to Mná Tí in the Gaeltacht under Scéim na bhFoghlaimeoirí Gaeilge; if so, the amount of the reduction; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [47369/09]

Under Scéim na bhFoghlaimeoirí Gaeilge, which is administered by my Department, a daily grant per student (€10.50 in 2009) is available to approved householders in Gaeltacht areas who accommodate Irish students from outside the Gaeltacht while attending Gaeltacht Summer Colleges. The position in relation to 2010 is being considered by my Department in the context of the recently announced Budget provisions and the overall decrease in the cost of living. I hope that it will be possible to announce a decision shortly in regard to the level of grant that will be available in 2010.
