Bhí lá iontach ag na daltaí ar fad a ghlac páirt i gcraobhchomórtas an Comórtas Pléaracha ionad oidreachta Brú Ború i gCaiseal. D’éirigh gach éinne go moch ar maidin. Sheinn gach éinne thar cinn ach faraor, níor éirigh linn an bua a bhreith linn. In ainneoin sin, bhí gach éinne abálta taitneamh a bhaint as an tírdhreac álainn, agus an seisiún iontach ar an mbus abhaile!

It was a great day out for everyone at the final of the Pléaracha Competition in the Brú Ború heritage centre in Cashel. Everyone managed to get up on time to catch the early bus down. Sadly, we didn’t manage to bring home the trophy but, despite that everyone was able to enjoy the beautiful landscape, and the amazing seisiún on the bus home!

Tá an t-am sin den bhlian tagtha arís, an oilithreacht bliantiúil go Sitges. Seo roinnt samplaí de cad a bhí ar siúl againn ann. Níos mó pictiúir agus fís le teacht! Bainaigí taitneamh as.

It’s that time of year again, the annual pilgrimage to Sitges. Here are some examples of what we got up to. More pictures and videos are on the way! Enjoy the performances.
