Beidh sult and spraoi againn i rith na seachtaine sin!

Caifé as Gaeilge - Caifé Cairde

We will kick start Seachtain na Gaeilge with a "Caifé Cairde", a café where we communicate in irish. Thank you to all the girls in 6th who are organizing this sociable event this year." Your trip to the Caifé will only cost you a euro! What great value! You get to have a "deoch oraiste" and a "briosca" or a "deoch liomóid" and a "cáca beag" and also time to chat with your cairde.

Ceoltóirí ó Chraobh Phiarais Uí Ghréagáin agus Rinceoirí Ógra

We were entertained by a group of traditional musicians from Craobh Phiarais Uí Ghréagain - a branch of Comhaltas. They are all pupils in Coláiste Eoin/Íosagáin and they got permission to miss their afternoon classes to play music for us. They played beautifully and we found ourselves clapping the beat of the jigs and polkas. As well as introducing themselves to us they told us a little about their instruments.

Some of the girls in the school are pupils of Pauline Daly's School of Irish Dancing. They performed a mix of single and group dances. It was lovely to see girls dancing to a very high standard. They all looked so nice in their dancing dresses.
