“Táimid thar a bheith bródúil gur éirigh linn brat buí a fháil a léiríonn go bhfuil scoil fháilteach, oscailte againn anseo i nGaelscoil an Bhradáin Feasa. Is cuma cén creideamh atá agat nó cad as duit tá fíor-fáilte romhat inár scoil,” arsa Hannah Ní Ghréacháin, múinteoir ag an scoil.
“Bhí orainn ocht gcéim a bhaint amach chun an brat a fháil agus thóg sé sin bliain scoile iomlán orainn. I measc na rudaí a rinneamar bhí lá-ilchineálachta, lá na máthairtheangacha, thugamar cuairt ar Meath Traveller Workshops agus bhuaileamar le chéile dhá uair sa mhí chun ár bpleananna a chur le chéile agus a phlé.
