Speaking following the Graduation Ceremony in Burnavon Centre, Cookstown Michael Hasson said, “The Irish Diploma at Ulster University and Ulster GAA’s support for GAA members to undertake this part-time course means a diverse range of students have the opportunity to learn the Irish language.
“In its fifth year, Ulster GAA is delighted to continue our investment in the Gaeilge sa Chlub scholarships which rewards GAA members wishing to develop their knowledge of the Irish Language and also benefits our clubs as successful scholars are committed to delivering an Irish Language project back in their club.
“Ulster GAA is committed to the development and promotion of the Irish Language and it is very welcome that so many GAA members are graduating from Irish Language study. I congratulate all those who have completed their study and I encourage any GAA member from across Ulster clubs interested in undertaking the course to apply for the Gaeilge sa Chlub scholarship by next Friday.
“I would also like to thank Mid Ulster Council for their ongoing support for this diploma and it’s wonderful for the students to learn in the beautiful and fantastic facility of the Burnavon Centre.”
