📍 Bhí lá ar dóigh ag daltaí Bl.4 i mBaile Átha Cliath agus iad ar cuairt ar chuid de na suíomhanna cultúrtha is tábhachtaí sa tír.
Thugamar cuairt ar:
🏛️ Ollscoil na Tríonóide, le blaiseadh de shaol an léinn
📚 Leabharlann Náisiúnta na hÉireann, le dhá thaispeántas iontacha:
→ People & Places - taispeántas grianghrafadóireachta ag tabhairt léargas ar shaol in Éirinn ó 1858–2021
→ Seamus Heaney: Listen Now Again - taithí tumthach ar shaol an fhile, lena dheasc scríbhneoireachta, lámhscríbhinní, grianghraif & tuilleadh
🏺 Ard-Mhúsaem na hÉireann (Seandálaíocht) - áit ar chonaic na daltaí an Chailís Ardach & an Dealg Tara, seoda dár n-oidhreacht.
Ba lá é a mheasc léargas stairiúil le taithí phearsanta agus neartaigh sé meas na ndaltaí ar chultúr na hÉireann.

📍 Our 4th Year students enjoyed an enriching and eye-opening cultural trip to Dublin, visiting three of Ireland’s most iconic heritage institutions:
🏛️ Trinity College Dublin, where they got a glimpse of university life
📚 The National Library of Ireland, where they visited two major exhibitions:
→ People & Places - a photographic journey through 160 years of Irish life, from salt paper prints to contemporary press images
→ Seamus Heaney: Listen Now Again - an immersive experience exploring the poet’s life, writings, desk, diaries, and manuscripts
🏺 The National Museum of Ireland (Archaeology) - where students stood face-to-face with national treasures like the Ardagh Chalice and the Tara Brooch
The day combined cultural immersion, hands-on learning and historical appreciation, giving students a stronger connection to Ireland’s literary, artistic and archaeological past.
💙 A huge thanks to the teachers who made the day possible - and well done to the students for their curiosity and engagement throughout!
