Down GAA Chairperson Sean Rooney said, "Down GAA is delighted to provide over 50 young members from our clubs with Gaeltacht Scholarships.  We had a lot of interest in the scheme which is designed to help young members of our clubs to travel to the Gaeltacht, to develop their love and understanding of the language”.
