Gaelscoil Raising of the Flag

Today in Gaelscoil Ui Eigeartaigh, the Flag was raised in Commemoration of the 1916 rising and the signing of the Proclamation. A huge effort was made by the School Staff and Students who have been preparing for some time for this Historic Event, with Students perfoming Dance and Music pieces and reciting poetry.

In attendance were Friends and Family of the School along with Lil Histon and her Grandchildren, Clodagh and Fionn McCall, Luke Rohan, Aaron Heelan and Cian Histon. Lil’s own Mother Angela MacKernan was a member of Cumann na Mban.
