“Tá an-áthas orm a fhógairt go bhfuil an Chomhairle in ann tacú le pobal na Gaeilge arís i mbliana tríd an scéim thábhachtach seo. Cuideoidh Scéim Sparánachta na Gaeilge leis an phobal a threisiú agus a neartú; agus cuideoidh sí le deiseanna foghlama a chur ar fáil do roinnt mhaith daoine éagsúla sa phobal.

“Beidh teaghlaigh, páistí agus daoine óga ábalta tairbhe a bhaint as an scéim agus iad ag iarraidh freastal ar na coláistí samhraidh sa Ghaeltacht. Beidh tacaíocht ar fáil fosta do dhaoine d’achan aois atá ag iarraidh dul chuig ranganna rialta, rud atá iontach tábhachtach mar mhodh sóisialta chomh maith leis an fhoghlaim.”
