    AFIK, indivdually it's small beer, but they ride it to the heavens.

    The big money is in the regions themselves. They get plenty.

    In fairness though, most of these areas could do with some sort of investment anyway.

    The main one would have been An Sceim labhairt na Gaeilge, where a family with children who could show they had native speaker standared of Irish got a grant worth roughly about an extra weeks child support in a year. Thats gone with a few years now, though I did hear somthing about a new one being created.

    Mainly though, most support the Gaeltachts get go to the business comunity through Udarais na Gaeltachta, you would also get a concentration of State supported Irish Language organisations in the Gaeltacht such as TG4. There are other incidental benefits like the Summer College industry that provides aditional income to some Gaeltacht families also.

    I spose it was a bit of a gimmick to help Connemara & other areas like it.

    No harm in it really
