We celebrated the day with:

Thank you all the students involved especially Mr Ronan O Reilly and 1C who helped organise many of the activities.

A special thank you to:

Daniel Bellew and Nathan Mongey who addressed the whole school.

Ronan Lawlor who took on the job of raising the flag, Eoghan Darcy who played ‘Amhrán na bhFiann’ beautifully on the Uilleann pipes
