As 2013 is Bliain Na Gaeilge the year of Irish, the Transition Year students registered with Gaeilge 24 and committed to speak Irish for 24 hours as part of ‘COMHRÁ 24/7’, a world record attempt for the longest ever continuous conversation in Irish worldwide.
Gaeilge 24 is an organisation that promotes Irish and encourages people to speak the Irish language. They supplied the students with promotional t-shirts, stickers and banners.
The students wore their t-shirts proudly in the school for the whole day, and reported that despite the fact it was almost impossible to keep a conversation going, “bhí an-chraic againn!”
