AS part of Seachtain na Gaeilge, Gaelscoil Mhic Easmainn invited other schools in the Tralee area to take part in a table quiz followed by a céili as part of their Seachtain na Gaeilge celebrations.
The table quiz questions were asked as Gaeilge, though that hasn’t bothered the other schools in the past as they have come to Gaelscoil Mhic Easmainn and won.
This year though, the Gaelscoil team of Tomas O hAinniféin, Daithí O’Regan and Peadar and Joseph Claro were the victorious.
“It’s a yearly event which we enjoy and celebrate,” said Liam Ó Conchubhair, teacher in Gaelscoil Mhic Easmainn.
“The other schools find it as an enjoyable challenge to and try and figure out can they do the quiz. It’s great for other schools to come to us and see Irish used as everyday working language. It takes them a while to get into it, but before the day is out they get to use the words that maybe don’t come naturally in the day to day running of their own schools,” said Liam.
“The day also helps other schools it helps them celebrate Seachtain na Gaeilge and they look forward to it each year,” said Liam.
