Board of Management French & Irish Scholarships

Board of Management French & Irish Scholarships

Each year the Board of Management offer the French and Irish departments funding towards scholarships to further support the work of the departments and the experience for the students. The two departments offered fifth year students the opportunity to apply for these scholarships. After reviewing the applications, applicants completed an oral examination. The standard was very high this year with only a few marks separating the top candidates in both subjects.

In French, the deserving students selected were Ciara Fanning Siney and Ella Campi. The girls will spend three weeks immersed in French in the beautiful settings of the Cistercian College, Roscrea, Co Tipperary.

In Irish, the two students who impressed the oral examiner were Laura Cleary and Michaela Broughall who will complete three weeks in the Gaeltacht in Colaiste na hOilean in County Mayo.
