Líofa Bursary Scheme 2026 Open for Applications 18 February 2026 Department for Communities has announced the 2026 Líofa Gaeltacht Bursary Scheme is now open for applications.
What is Líofa? The word Líofa means ‘fluent’ and this is precisely what The Líofa Initiative strives to achieve – a greater number of fluent Irish speakers. We at Líofa aim to encourage as many people as possible to make a personal pledge to improve their Irish, and in doing so, to join a community of like-minded people focused on learning and using the language. We also aim to support learners at any stage on their language journey, as the Irish proverb goes Ní neart go cur le chéile, which means that together we're stronger.
