Seachtain na Gaeilge celebrations

Apr 17, 2026

We celebrated Seachtain na Gaeilge in the week leading up to St. Patrick’s Day.  This year our celebration focused on Gaeilge and Irish culture.  We were very excited to have a visit from Meath ladies footballers, Clodagh Millington and Katie Bermingham.

We also had a visit from Fergus Russell.  He talked to the senior classes about life on Inis Meain and gave a rendition of some traditional sean nós songs.  

All classes got the opportunity to attend a performance from our school band in the hall and participate in the céilí in the halla.

Throughout the week, some of our other activities included a daily raffle for our frásaí an lae, comórtas ealaíne, tráth na gceist, pharáid scoile, shared reading between the senior and junior classes, assembly glás and a pop up gaeltacht in the seomra foirne. Bhí féile iontach againn.
