Sergeant Denis McGarry and his colleague Mark Cotter from Collin’s Barracks visited our school today to present us with our very own Irish flag. Sergeant McGarry read the proclamation with the assistance of five of our 6th Class girls. He told the children about the origin of the tricolour and Irish history. The sergeant presented our Chairperson of the Board of Management Sr. Angela with the flag. After the presentation the children took the opportunity to ask the Sergeant some important questions. The ceremony concluded with singing of our National Anthem ‘Amhrán na bhFiann.’
