Irish Department:

Comhrá 20 is an ongoing conversation as Gaeilge on Zoom over the course of 3 days in order to try and break a record for the longest conversation held in Irish in the world. 1st year Oak and 3rd year Elm took part in ‘Comhrá 20’ organised by Conradh na Gaeilge on Thursday 15th October. Rosemont School was given an hour slot. The girls spoke Irish for the full hour and did really well! A thank you to our TY students who were on hand to facilitate the conversation. Ms Mahon
