Four National Awards Go To The Garden County

On March 8th all roads led to the centre of the country to Mullingar for the National Cornmarket Cumann na mBunscol Awards. These awards are like the Oscars for primary school teachers involved in the promotion of Gaelic games in their schools and counties. The glitz, glamour and nail biting were all evident as teachers from the 32 counties were present as the awards were announced in order from 3rd place to 1st place. Wicklow Cumann na mBunscol was announced as the first winners of the night as it scooped 1st place for its Social Media presence and then 2nd place for Public Relations. St. Laurence O’Toole’s, Roundwood also came away with 2 awards on the night, 3rd place in the Promotion of Gaelic Games and Culture category and 3rd place in Large School of the Year. What a night for the Garden County! A large group were present on the night from St. Laurence O’Toole’s to claim their well earned prizes and Allianz Cumann na mBunscol Chill Mhantáin were represented by Cathaoirleach Ciara Fagan, Cisteoir Éamonn Hughes and PRO Pam McDermott. This is a fantastic achievement for Wicklow to be so highly represented nationally. Well done to all, huge congratulations!
