By way of further supporting the Irish summer colleges sector, in addition to the significant supports provided via Scéim na bhFoghlaimeoirí Gaeilge, total funding of just over €166,000 was provided to Comhchoiste Náisiúnta na gColáistí Samhraidh (CONCOS) for the three years from 2019-2021.

A recent application by CONCOS for funding for the period 2022-2024 is currently being evaluated by my Department.
