Significant funding approval for Coláiste Uisce in north Mayo

A significant funding approval has been awarded to Coláiste Uisce for necessary renovation works to be carried out on the roof of the centre in Eachléim.

Deputy Michael Ring has strongly welcomed confirmation from the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media that a grant of €110,362 or 50% of the cost, whichever is less, has been allocated to Coláiste Uisce to enable them to carry out necessary roof renovation works.

Said Deputy Ring: “This funding has been approved in recognition of the work they carry out in order to promote the Irish language.

“They carry out tremendous work in this area by offering a wide variety of Irish courses to the public, including summer Gaeltacht courses for second-level students, courses for transition year students, school tours for Gaelscoileanna and Scoileanna Gaeltachta, youth leadership courses as Gaeilge, and courses for third-level students and adult courses.

“I am hopeful that this funding will enable them to continue their wonderful work in the promotion of the Irish language.”
