A throwback to Seachtain na Gaeilge 2026☘️We had céilís and ceolchoirms amongst other fabulous events! Míle buíochas to Ms Keenan and the 6th Class girls for all their hard work!
6th Class had a wonderful visit to Leinster House to learn all about the Houses of the Oireachtas. Míle buíochas to both @graves.ann and @alicemaryhiggins who met with the girls. We really appreciate them taking time out of their very busy days to greet us. We particularly enjoyed learning about the role of women in politics. Our classes got to witness both a session in the Dáil and in the Seanad. We were name checked in the Seanad so our visit is now in official records!
