Gaeltacht Irish language courses cancelled for the second summer running

Minister Jack Chambers said he is confident that a solution can be reached which will ensure the courses can continue in 2022.

Gaeltacht Courses have been cancelled this summer, for the second year in a row, due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic.

During a consultation between Mná Tí, who provide accommodation for the students, course operators, and the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media, the former expressed "considerable health and safety concerns" for families and local communities.
