A petition for an Irish Language camp that had to cancel this year due to lack of funding has passed a thousand signatures.
It was started on Friday by a group of parents and former students of Armagh's Campa Mhacha.
The camp says its application for cash was turned down because the Irish Language funding body said it wasn't received on time.
It's believed it was held back because the address was written in Irish.
In a statement Campa Mhacha wrote, "We regret that 100 young Irish speakers in Armagh will miss out on the opportunity to attend an Irish language summer camp, but unfortunately we have no other option."
Organiser Sean Ó Maoilsté says the response was a shock.
