Last night @IrishSecretari1 summer reception, I received 2 lovely little pins. The first from my good friends @krobertson245 and @bonzodave from @EastBelfastGAA and the other from my gorgeous and very talented friend @SaraONeillArt.


An exciting but expensive time for @ScoilnaSeolta Any and every donation is greatly appreciated and will be used to ensure that children from east Belfast are given the opportunity to be educated in a cross community setting through the medium of Irish. paypal.com/donate/?hosted…
As Scoil na Seolta grows, we need more staff & resources. We need books for our first Rang a haon class; equipment to start breakfast club & school meals; another classroom assistant for a big naíscoil year. As an independent school we're grateful for any donation big or small 🙏
