Gaeltacht

Each year my university offers funding to go and do a course in the Gaeltacht in the summer, and I'd like to go but I've never applied because I'm anxious about how accessible it would be for me. I've only ever lived in small cities/towns and I get the impression that really rural areas are not great for accessibility, and I have enough trouble in my university town to be honest. Maybe if I could drive it would all be easier, but I don't think it's feasible for me to learn how to drive right now.

It would depend on exactly where exactly the course was being held. If it was residential, then once you got to the venue, then you'd be OK. There are trains and buses and, at a pinch, taxis for the last bit if it's not on a bus route. It's certainly worth finding out more details.
