In keeping with a lovely, long standing tradition the Lord Mayor came to visit our school today. This visit was extremely special as Fergal Dennehy returned to his old school and he was welcomed with a guard of honour by our sixth class pupils on his arrival.
In the hall all pupils and staff gathered where the Lord Mayor received a very warm welcome and we sang Amhrán na bhFiann. Jamie, Issac and Kaiden provided words of welcome as Gaeilge agus as Béarla. Cllr. Dennehy spoke of the pride and emotion he felt returning to the school where he had so many happy memories. He truly is a wonderful role model for all students at this school.
In honour of the Lord Mayor we sang the beautiful song ‘Beautiful City,’ accompanied by Ms. Mangan on the violin and Cllr. Dennehy was delighted to sing along. He complimented the boys on their exemplary behaviour and singing and took time to chat and answer questions with many of the boys.
