Cúlra
Bhunaigh Comhairle Chontae na Gaillimhe scéim coláireachtaí (Coláistí Samhraidh Gaeltachta) in 2016, chun aitheantas a thabhairt maidir leis an dlúthbhaint a bhí ag Pádraig Mac Piarais le Contae na Gaillimhe. B’oideoir tiomanta é Pádraig Mac Piarais agus bhunaigh sé scoileanna i mBaile Átha Cliath agus i nGaillimh. Is minic a thug sé daltaí go Conamara chun Gaeilge a fhoghlaim.
Background
A Gaeltacht Summer College scholarship scheme was established by Galway County Council in 2016 in recognition of the strong ties between Pádraig Mac Piarais and the County of Galway. Pádraig Mac Piarais was a committed educator and set up schools both in Dublin and Galway. He often brought Irish students to Conamara in order to learn Irish.
