STUDENTS from Gaelcholáiste Chiarraí joined schools from all over the country at the Gaelbhratach presentation on DCU St Patrick’s Campus in Dublin on Tuesday.

The flags were presented to students and teachers in recognition of the work they carried out throughout the year to promote the Irish language in their schools.

It was a fun social occasion for students of Gaelbhratach committees across the country to come together, enjoy the ceol agus craic, and to get a taste of Irish-language life outside of school through workshops and a panel discussion with some former Gaelbhratach students.

Caoimhe Ní Chathail, producer and presenter with BBC Blas and Raidió Fáilte, and Jamie Ó Flannúra, manager of Raidió Rí-Rá, presented the flags to the schools on the scheme.

Jamie presented the panel discussion – which focused on the opportunities and possibilities that come with a life through Irish after school – alongside Barry Ó Siochriú, the first full-time Irish language officer in the NUI Galway Students’ Union and former pupil of Gaelcholáiste Chiarraí; Mairidh Nic Cormaic, founder of Sew It Seams; Mícheál Ó Nualláin, manager of Baile Átha Cliath le Gaeilge; and Caoimhe Ní Chathail.

The Gaelbhratach scheme is funded by Foras na Gaeilge and by the Department of Education and Skills.
