These schools were removed from the list of schools scheduled as being in the Fíor-Ghaeltacht, because the Department was not satisfied, from the results of investigation in connection with the grant of £2 payable to parents (or guardians) in the Gaeltacht or Breac-Ghaeltacht in respect of each child attending a primary school in the Gaeltacht or Breac-Ghaeltacht, that Irish was generally spoken as the language of the homes in these school-districts. None of these schools has been restored to the list.
