While today I was escorting Belgian teachers, Anke, Caroline and Hannah to TEAL Project schools in Limerick city: St. John’s Boy’s school; Coláiste Mhichíl, CBS: An Edmund Rice School Coláiste Nano Nagle my 82 year old Dad was showing Camilla how to do Irish dancing!

So delighted to have welcomed Salvo last night for a very informative webinar. Great to see that MFL at primary level is back on the agenda, where it should be. #MLPSI is still remembered as a huge loss to the Irish education system.

Congratulations Aoife! Well done!

A well-deserved tribute to your Dad, Fíodhna, a man whose love and enjoyment of music is clear to see. Lean ar aghaidh leis an gceol, Bobby, agus míle buíochas.

Great presentation Fíodhna! Congratulations!

Delighted to be present and have the opportunity to join colleagues from the education sector to work on the development of the new primary curriculum #edchatie
