Lizi Brennan and Abbey College students in Abbey Haven
Teacher Lizi Brennan and her First Year music class at Abbey College delighted residents of Abbey Haven Care & Nursing Home on Tuesday afternoon with an excellent concert of singing and instrument playing to celebrate Mental Health Week. The level of musicianship was of high order and I hope and believe that some of these young people will grow into household names in the future. Congratulations to all and a big 'well done' to Lizi for providing mental space, coaching and inspiration.
St. Joseph's National School - Tricolour & Proclamation
Members of the Defence Forces and staff at St. Joseph's BNS
Lieutenant John Holmes, Sergeant Ozzie Hackett and Private Michael Birrane presented St. Joseph's Boys National school with a Tricolour and copy of the Proclamation during Tuesday morning's ceremony in the School Gym. Lieut. Holmes read the text of the 1916 Proclamation, with passages read by two of the school's pupils. He then explained the significance of the Tricolour and how it may and not be used.
Thomas Francis Meagher first introduced the flag during the revolutionary year of 1848 as an emblem of the Young Ireland movement. The green represents the older Gaelic and Anglo-Norman element in the population, while the orange represents the Protestant side. 'The white in the centre, represents a lasting truce between the 'Orange' and the 'Green'.
The three members of the Defence Forces present then answered questions posed by pupils of school.
