This year, a record-breaking total of 165 post-primary schools have been awarded
Students from seven schools in Kildare were awarded a Gaelbhratach (Irish flag) at a ceremony in Mary Immaculate College, Limerick, this week.
Gaelbhratach is a national programme designed to encourage students at primary and post-primary level to use Irish beyond the classroom in a natural and enjoyable way.
TG4 appearances and Irish language raves were just some of the activities organised and run by students in Kildare.
The schools awarded include Confey College, Gaelcholáiste Mhaigh Nuad, Athy College, Naas Community College, Coláiste Chiaráin in Leixlip, Gaelcholáiste Chill Dara in Naas and Salesian College in Celbridge.
For the first time, this year schools from all 32 counties took part, a record-breaking total of 165 post-primary schools have been awarded.
