Irish Public Speaking Competition

Gael Linn

Mrs Mc Allister, two fourth years and three A-Level Irish students took part in the local round of the Gael-Linn Abair public speaking competition.  Many other GCSE, AS and A2 level Irish students from the Newry and Mourne area took part and a wide range of current and topical subjects were spoken about.

 

Congratulations to Ursula Savage U6th who came second in the A Level section.  Ursula’s title was ‘The Under-representation of Women in Irish Politics’ and she now goes on to take part in the regional finals in Belfast in March.
