Gaeltacht Scholarships

We hope that all our students are enjoying the various events which have been organised for Seachtain na Gaeilge!

On top of this, Roinn na Gaeilge is delighted to announce that we are once again running an essay competition for students who are attending a Gaeltacht course this summer (2026). We have six scholarships worth €250 available. Three scholarships will be awarded to Junior Students and three scholarships will be awarded to Senior Students.

Essay Title:

Eachtra A Tharla Dom

To Enter:

• Students must write a 300 word hand written essay.
• Essays must be submitted to the student’s Irish teacher.
• The deadline for entries is Tuesday 10th March.
• Each student who submits an essay will be entered into a draw. The six winners will be chosen at random.

Please note: Winners must provide proof of payment for a 2026 Gaeltacht course before the prize money can be awarded.

An Roinn Gaeilge wishes to extend their thanks to the Board of Management and the Parents Association for generously funding these scholarships as well as for their continued support for the Irish language in Malahide Community School.
