Tá 100 scoláireacht Ghaeilge á dtairiscint ag Gaelchultúr d’imreoirí idirchontae na gCluichí Gaelacha mar chuid de chomhpháirtíocht nua idir Cumann Lúthchleas Gael, Cumann na nImreoirí Gael agus an coláiste. Cuirfidh na scoláireachtaí ar chumas na laochra spóirt seo luí isteach ar an nGaeilge agus a bheith ina n-ambasadóirí don teanga taobh istigh dá gclubanna, dá gcontaetha agus dá bpobail. Ár mbuíochas le Nuacht TG4 as aird a tharraingt ar an scéim nua seo. *** Gaelchultúr is offering 100 Irish language scholarships to Gaelic Games inter-county players as part of a new partnership between GAA, Gaelic Players Association and the college. The scholarships will enable these sporting icons to immerse themselves in Irish, becoming ambassadors for the language within their clubs, counties and communities. Many thanks to Nuacht TG4 for highlighting this new scheme.

Recently we hosted a Connacht “Levelling Up” event in Claremorris. The event focused on personal development, awareness and action to level up career on and off the pitch. Watch a recap at the link below. Stephen Henry Arron Graffin Jennifer Rogers https://lnkd.in/e3JCKnmF
