Final Competition of the Tráth na gCeist Feachtas, Tuesday, 5 March 2024, F2 Unit, Rialto, Dublin
​

 

Coláiste Eoin, Dublin,

 Winners of  2024

It was a very enjoyable, rewarding day at the Final Competition of Feachtas's Tráth na gCeist 2024... for the winners!! It was a close competition between the 16 secondary schools who took part in the Final in Unit F2, Rialto, Dublin on Tuesday, 5 March 2024. Three teams came through, taking with them the first, second and third places. Coláiste Eoin was especially successfuly, taking both first and third place.

​

The qualifiers began in September 2023 and the Feacthas team travelled to secondary schools and Gaelcholáistí all across the country. 19 teams managed to make it to the final.

​

On Tuesday, our incredible host, the charming, bubbly, Mr Jamie Ó Flannúra had the competition well underway. He asked a lot of difficult questions with mysterious answers to the competitors, but they managed amazingly against the challenge.

​

A prize fund of €1,240 was awarded to the winners of the day. €600 for place and the pupils from Coláiste Eoin were the ones to go home with this prize: Eoghan Ó hAnluain-Fay, Finn Ó Donaile, Traolach Ó Súilleabháin, and Senan Ó Caithniadh.

​

The second place winners from Coláiste Naomh Mhuireadaigh did exceedingly well, winning a prize of €400: Niall Ó Murchú, Eoghan Ó Duarcáin, Gaibhin Ó Braonáin, and Jeaic Ó Muirí.

​

Coláiste Eoin had some more luck when their second team won €240 for third place: Dónal Mac Artáin, Doiminic Ó Súilleabháin, Finian Mac Rothaích, and Cillian Ó Donnchú.

​

"It's an incredible thing to be able to bring young people together to comete against one another through Irish, Even the amount of teams who did not come from Gaelcholaistí. It's a great reason for hope that Irish is strengthening among young people," says Oisín Ó Dubhshláine, Feacthas development officer.

​

"There is always a high standard at the Final and the research and preparation the pupils underwent was clear as day," says Loretta Ní Churraighín, Feachtas Manager. "It was great to hear the Irish so easily."

​

"I congratulate the winners and all the pupils who took part in Feachtas's Final Competition today," says Pádraigín Nic Ghearailt, Tráth na gCeist Feachtais Co-Ordinator. "It's an incredible thing that they've done."
