    Has anybody any experience of this course near Dingle. It is a Gealtacht course run over the mid-terms which also teaches French. Is it any good?

    • The complainant who was attending the course at the time of making the complaint said they were of the opinion that the course was to be conducted in a college. This was not the case, however, and the course which the complainant attended took place in a man’s sitting room.
      The complainant also said that while the advertising had indicated that the course would consist of Irish classes in the morning and French classes in the afternoon, as per the syllabus of the Department of Education, this was not what they had been provided with. The teacher in question veered away from the timetable and while a small amount of tuition had been provided in these subjects, most of the tuition had been centred on the catholic religion.
      The complainant concluded that their parents had paid for a course which had not been delivered as advertised.
    response
    • The advertisers said that their solicitors would be dealing with the matter on their behalf.
      The Solicitors subsequently informed the Authority that it would not be possible for their client to address an anonymous complaint.
      The Executive provided the advertisers’ solicitors with the background to the complaint. They informed them that the complaint was not an anonymous complaint as they held the complainant’s details. They also pointed out to the Solicitors that it was not the policy of the Authority to identify consumer complainants and that the onus was always on advertisers to be able to demonstrate that their advertising was in conformity with the Code.
      The Solicitors said they would revert once they had received instructions from their client. To date, however, the Authority has not received a response to the complaint.
