Merry Christmas from Coláiste na hÉireann/Gaelchultúr
December 10, 2013
Happy Christmas and a prosperous New Year from Gaelchultúr.
As 2013 draws to a close, we would like to take this opportunity to thank all those who participated in our courses over the last 12 months.
2013 has been an important year for Gaelchultúr. We were awarded status as a third level institution during the summer and began a course at level 9 on the NFQ, Dioplóma Iarchéime san Aistriúchán (Postgraduate Diploma in Translation), in September. We offered the Certificate in Professional Irish at three different levels – Levels 3, 4 and 5 – and awarded that qualification to employees from a wide range of public sector bodies. We published the third edition of our Irish grammar book, Gramadach gan Stró!, as well as three new Irish language resources for primary school teachers: Gníomhaíochtaí Gasta, Póstaer Pearsan and Réalta an Ranga. Over a thousand primary teachers participated in our online summer courses – the most registrations we’ve had to date. We also redesigned our online shop, siopa.ie, and added substantially to the number and range of products we sell.
Competition
We have two pairs of tickets to give away for Kíla’s Christmas gig, as well as five copies of Rónán Ó Snodaigh’s brand new album, Sos. The gig will begin at 8.00pm on Wednesday, 18 December 2013, in Whelan’s, 25 Wexford Street, Dublin 2.
If you want to be in with a chance to win, send an email with the title “Comórtas” to eolas@gaelchultur.com by 5.00pm on Friday, 13 December 2013. You must answer the following question in your email:
Rónán Ó Snodaigh is a member of the band Kíla, but what is the name of his latest solo album?
All correct answers will be entered into a draw. The first two people selected will win the tickets and the next five names drawn will win a copy of the album.
