STUDENTS of Gaelcholaiste Chiarraí had a chance to meet Colm Cooper after an Irish language film screening in the Mobile Cinema as part of Seachtain Na Gaeilge.

Addressing the crowd at the cinemobile parked at the Fels Point Hotel, Colm said that “events like these are a great opportunity to give kids a chance to get out of school and watch films as gaeilge”.

“We screen films for 300 secondary school students a day,” said Sinéad Dhomhnaill of Seachtain Na Gaeilge. “It’s a great experience, the kids love it. It’s a chance for them to practise their cupla focal,” she added.

The Cinemobile has had a busy week with screenings in Belfast, Derry and Tullamore. On Friday it went west for the Dingle Film Fest.

The screening was one of a series of events being held by Gaelcholáiste Chiarraí to mark the week.

It’s estimated that over 100,000 people have attended Seachtain na Gaeilge events so far this year, up from 2014’s 80,000 attendees. Seachtain na Gaeilge runs March 17. Information about events is available at snag.ie
