My Department does not provide any assistance directly to Irish summer colleges in the Gaeltacht. However, under Scéim na bhFoghlaimeoirí Gaeilge, my Department provides assistance to Gaeltacht households who accommodate Irish students while attending summer colleges in the Gaeltacht. A total of €4.45m was paid under the scheme in 2011 and €4.35m has been allocated for the scheme in 2012.
