 * Comment - This college (or rather its founder) is the subject of recent news (see this). That article says that the college is "one of the country's largest Irish colleges". There has been coverage about this college that may be singificant (for example, this article from 2010, which is in Irish and behind a paywall). The fact that the original author 5 years ago had a conflict of interest is irrelevant to the notability of the article. 137.43.188.205 (talk) 16:52, 16 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep. Well established, over 40 years, summer school for a slowly dying language. Google books has several entries, 3-6 books and several citations in Google scholar. Satisfies WP:GNG and WP:ORG. The article needs worth, it's really shabby looking. Needs references added for somebody who can speak the language, or perhaps spend time to translate the citations etc. scope_creep (talk) 22:23, 16 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep. Important historically and linguistically, a well-established college. Besides which, the grounds for deletion appear to be unclear. The article has been recently tagged, and it can be easily fixed through normal editing. Hohenloh + 00:52, 17 April 2013 (UTC)
