Post-primary schools in Cavan and Monaghan are being invited to join a new Irish language initiative - Spraoi'23 - which is aimed at cultivating a love of the Irish language, by engaging students in activities through the medium of Irish.
The initiative is being run by Education and Training Boards Ireland, in conjunction with An Chomhairle um Oideachas Gaeltachta agus Gaelscolaíochta.
Spraoi'23 invites schools to partake in a range of different competition categories from blogging and rapping to art design and the creation of new seanfhocal.
The programme is open to all students in post-primary schools across the country, not just those under ETB patronage.
Speaking at the launch, ETBI General Secretary Paddy Lavelle said students will be "enthused" by the vast range of creative and fun competitions, which he added will be of a "huge."
