On Tuesday October 23rd, Evan Matthews, Ethan Brady Arnold, Sean Lysaght and Diarmaid Kelly competed in the regional of Poetry Aloud, held in the National Library of Ireland. Congratulations to Diarmaid Kelly who secured a place in the semi-final with his outstanding performance of Heaney's 'Postscript'. On leaving the library Sean Lysaght remarked, 'I'm glad I did it, as now I have two poems committed to memory'. His comment reminded me of the purpose of our participation - to provide the students with an opportunity to commit to memory the best of what has been thought and written.
