CUAIRTEANNA Ó THUISMITHEOIRÍ
Parents who visit their children, must obtain permission from an Ardmháistir to take the children for the afternoon. Information regarding travel, and accommodation is available from the Coláiste.

Rialacha / Rules
There are some rules which have to be strictly, though fairly, enforced. We wish these to be brought to the student’s and parent’s attention before coming to the Coláiste, as contravention of any of these will result in expulsion from the course and forfeiture of fees.

Please note the following:
1 To benefit fully from the couse, Irish must be spoken at all times.

2 The following are strictly forbidden:
   a Smoking or the possession of tobacco products.
   b Entry into a licensed premises.
   c The possession of alcoholic drink or drugs.

3 Each student must be in his/her lodgings by 10 pm, and remain there until after breakfast.

4 Students may not go swimming or fishing without supervision.

Any breach of common-sense or good manners is a breach of college rules and will not be accepted. Failure to comply with these rules will warrant expulsion and fees will not be reimbursed.

Freastal / Attendance
Students must attend the full course; late arrivals and early departures are disruptive of the proper and efficient running of courses.

Taisteal / Travel
A special coach will depart from Dublin. This coach will stop in Kinnegad, Moate, Ballinasloe and Galway before travelling to the boat at Ros a' Mhíl. Please indicate, on the application form, how you intend to travel.
