Adjudicator Seán Ó hÉanaigh, head of programmes at the station,chose the national winners and said he was extremely impressed with the high standard achieved by the entrants and with the wide variety of topics covered within the programmes.
Coláiste Cholmcille, Indreabhán, Conamara, Co.Galway, won the third prize of €350 for their informative programme, An Ceathrú Cuid, that documented their experience of the transition year, and the various activities in which the students were involved, such as rock climbing, pancake making, and music.

Anseo – The new Irish language App creating the digital gaeltacht
May 16, 2013
Anseo is a new Irish language App. created by Diaga Ltd. and aimed at the Irish language community around the country. But who, specifically is it aimed at? And what are the benefits of signing up to the App?
There are two main types of membership: Individual users and group users. These groups include businesses, community groups, schools and any other organisations that use Irish. This means that individual users can see other users as well as the group users on a map, and, of course, contact them.
But there is more, this App. is location aware as it uses GPS. This means that the App. is focused on the community level. For example, a user in Galway City can open the App and immediately see all the other individual users around them as well as all the Irish language groups and organisations (businesses, schools, community groups, etc.) in the city. The user will then be able to contact other users.
So what benefits do gaelscoileanna and gaelcholáistí get from this App? The answer is simple: Visibility. Thousands of users, both in Ireland and abroad, and specifically in your local area will be able to see your school. Among those users will be Irish speakers, learners, parents and many others, all of whom with the ability to see where the school is and all the events that it organises or participates in.
Often, the success of a new school depends on visibility and, at the same time, the success of the Irish language depends on education. Anseo App. is designed to promote the Irish language and bring the language community together, but it will not be able to do this without help from the Irish language community itself. For these and many more reasons, sign up to www.anseoapp.com now and help us create the digital gaeltacht.
New School Building For Gaelscoil Mhic Amhlaigh
May 16, 2013
The Board of Management of Gaelscoil Mhic Amhlaigh wishes to confirm that it has accepted a revised proposal from the Department of Education and Skills in relation to its proposed school building project.
The Department of Education and Skills has confirmed to the board that their revised proposal will involve the:
- Relocation of Gaelscoil Mhic Amhlaigh to a greenfield site in the Knocknacarra area. The Department is currently in the process of identifying a suitable site.
- Progression of a 24 classroom new school building for Gaelscoil Mhic Amhlaigh to architectural planning and construction on that site under the current 5 year capital building programme of the Department.
- Continuation of Bishop Martin Drennan as Patron of the school.
The Department has also acknowledged the preference of the Board of Management that the new school site will also accommodate a Naíonra and have confirmed that they will endeavour to identify and acquire a site that can accommodate a Naíonra. The Board of Management are satisfied that this will be the case.
“In warmly welcoming this very positive development the Board of Management paid tribute to all those who supported the school in its campaign to secure appropriate accommodation over the last year, especially parents , staff, public representatives and the wider community of Knocknaccarra. The Board of Management now look forward to working in a spirit of cooperation and partnership with the Department of Education and Skills to progress the project as quickly as possible. The Board also said the development was timely in that it will bring clarity and certainty to parents, Patrons and the wider community in relation to the issue of additional school places in the Knocknacarra area at a time when the Department of Education and Skills have just commenced a public consultation process with regard to the patronage of a new school for the area”.
