Under the tutelage of Múinteoir Niall Ó Sluain and helped by a host of local faces, the five students immerse themselves in the summer college experience - complete with classes, céilís and the climactic ceolchoirm! Each day the students follow a coláiste timetable - classes in the morning with Múinteoirí Niall and Méabh, and busy afternoons of traditional coláiste activities - singing, dancing….even kayaking! At the end of the week, each student will build up to a 'scrúdú béil' to see just how much their grasp of Gaeilge has grown. And with a prize-giving at the ceolchoirm at the end of the week - who will come out on top and reveal themselves as the true Réaltaí na Gaeltachta?
