The aim of the competition is to encourage pupils attending Irish medium secondary schools to use their Irish through the various performing arts by giving them the opportunity to take part in a innovative and exciting event. Students from Gaelchol\u00e1iste Luimnigh participated in six events at the Munster Final on Wednesday, 5th February, and were delighted to come home with five acts placed in first place. These five acts will now go on to represent Gaelchol\u00e1iste Luimnigh at the All-Ireland Final of Scl\u00e9ip in the Axis Theatre, Ballymun on Saturday, 1st March.
