Oireachtas na Samhna took place in Killarney over the Halloween break

.
It is a wonderful vibrant festival and brings together all the Gaeilgóirí young and old all over Ireland and beyond.
There are lots of competitions held during the Oireachtas including story telling, dancing, poetry, agallamh beirte, debating, ceol agus sean-nós singing.
This year 12 children from Gaelscoil Faithleann, Cill Airne in Rang 4,5 and 6 entered the Agallamh Beirte. “This is a very popular and traditional part of the Oireachtas comortaisí. It is a conversation and chat between two people and gives the children an opportunity to use their Gaeilge on stage and is great for their confidence,” said principal Lisa Ní Chathasaigh.

“Comhghairdeas le gach buachaill agus cailín. We hope to enter this competition and maybe one or two more next year as Oireachtas na Samhna will take place in Gleneagle INEC again. Tír gan Teanga, Tír gan Anam.”
