To Heaven… in Connacht!
26 March 2024Whatever Cromwell’s motivation for his infamous ‘offer’, there has been one positive outcome: Connacht is full of the most welcoming people, full of smiles and voices… and quirky little hand gestures of greeting, flashed as the locals whiz past you on the boreen in their 91-MO Nissan Bluebirds. Even private school kids from the depths of D4 and SoCo, burdened by that awkward aloofness, handed down from parent to au pair to scion, experience an epiphany when crossing the Shannon, and the coach is suddenly full of laughing, singing, devil-may-care youngsters! Well, such was the case on the Fifth Years’ recent trip to Killary Adventure Centre, where students and a few lucky teachers packed a term’s worth of action into a 36 hour tour-de-force of fun! Don’t take our word for it… check out the photos and video below, the latter of which will have its rather salty audio track restored, once the class is safely graduated!
