The first Irish Colleges were set up in Spain in the 1580s in Salamanca and Madrid . Later, more Colleges were established in Rome , Paris , Brussels , Louvain and Prague . Some of the Colleges fell out of use in the late 18th Century as the Penal Laws against Catholics in Ireland were relaxed. In the last decade, the Irish Government has bought the premises of the old Irish Colleges in Paris and Prague for the use of modern Irish students based in those cities. The Irish College in Rome continues to be used for the education and training of Catholic clergy. EXTERNAL LINKS
