Cut in Funding
It was announced in the 2009 Irish Government Budget that the government would not continue funding CTYI. Up to 2008 the Department of Education had been providing the course with €97,000. The move was criticized by CTYI staff. However a spokesperson for the Department of Education said that “the resources available for next year meant that difficult choices had to be made and the abolition of the grant to the Centre for Talented Youth was one of those tough decisions.” The government had planned to allow CTYI to become a national mandate.

Famous quotes containing the word cut:
“Come, gentle night, come, loving, black-browed night.
Give me my Romeo, and when I shall die,
Take him and cut him out in little stars
And he will make the face of heaven so fine
That all the world will be in love with night,
And pay no worship to the garish sun.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
