Irish careers seminar to visit Navan
March 20, 2012
On Tuesday 27th March Buntáiste Breise na Gaeilge, a careers seminar for senior-cycle students at second level will take place in the Newgrange Hotel in Navan.
Guest speakers set to appear at the event include Irene Ní Nualláin who is a reporter with TG4/RTÉ, Traic Ó Braonáin from Cumann na bhFiann, Bláthnaid Ní Chofaigh, from RTÉ, Marcus Ó Buachalla from Pembroke Communications and Siobhán Seoighe who works with An Foras Pátrúnachta.
In the past three weeks similar seminars were held in Ballinasloe , Co. Galway and in Inis Co. Clare where over 500 pupils attended.
As part of the seminars, questions from the students are welcomed, which give rise to lively debate about such subjects as the future of the language, Gaeltacht status, Irish as a compulsory subject, Irish at third level, and the Government’s support for the language.
Further information about this seminar is available from Brígíd Ní Ghíofa, Comhdháil Náisiúnta na Gaeilge on 01 679 4780 or by sending an e-mail to eolas@gaelport.com
