The competition began in 2005 and it has grown steadily since then. The aim of the competition is to encourage pupils attending Irish medium secondary schools to use their Irish through the various performing arts by giving them the opportunity to take part in a innovative and exciting event. We hope that this year’s competition has helped to boost their confidence. Seachtain na Gaeilge are offering a studio recording session with a professional sound technician to the winner of the Pop/Rock category, Peadar Ó Goill, and Peadar and the group Trí Lasadh (winners of one of the innovation awards) were on stage recently as part of Gaelspraoí during the Patrick’s Day Festival. GAELSCOILEANNA TEO. wish them and all who took part in Scléip 2010 every success; there was some wonderful talent on show and they are sure to have a bright future ahead of them.
