Marist students Molly O’Callaghan and Charlie McNamee with their Irish teacher Shane Quinn
There was tremendous success for Molly O’Callaghan and Charlie McNamee from St. Mary’s College in the final of Gael Linn’s prestigious ‘Abair’ Irish public speaking competition recently.
The final was held in Aonach Mhacha in Armagh City.
Molly and Charlie qualified for the final having previously achieved first and second place in the regional bout held in Newry in February.
Speakers from across the nine counties of Ulster and County Louth compete in the annual cross-border competition.
Competitors on the day had to speak about a topical issue as Gaeilge for three minutes each.
In the final Molly spoke about her chosen topic of ‘Ba cheart deireadh a chur le hobair bhaile’/ ‘We should abolish homework’, while Charlie spoke about ‘Turasóireacht in Éirinn’ / ‘Tourism in Ireland’.
They gave excellent performances on the day and were delighted to win both first and second place in the junior section of the competition. Comhghairdeas mór leo!
