A Coláiste Oiriall Leaving , who has excelled in the Irish language, was honoured recently at a national event for Ireland’s sixteen Education and Training Boards in Thomond Park hosted by RTE Newsreader Ray Kennedy. A bursary, including financial support of €5000 and professional assistance, was presented to Aoibhinn Ní Chraoibhínn from Coláiste Oiriall Monaghan and CMETB by bursary sponsors An Chomhairle um Oideachas Gaeltachta & Gaelscolaíochta (COGG) at the event. Only one bursary was presented nationwide. A student from Coláiste Daibhéid in Cork received a runner-up presentation.

The bursary judges agreed that Aoibhinn Ní Crhaoibhínn, who’s love of the Irish Language was evident from 3 years of age and who has since gone on to make a significant contribution to the development of Irish language and culture across her school and her community, would be a superb ambassador for Irish language and culture and wanted to support her onward journey and career.
