Independent country. We strive for a
peaceful country and a world without war.We want to see the people of our
country united in their pride for our culture, language and pastimes such as
Irish dancing and GAA. We believe these
are a large part of our National Identity.The Ireland of the future will
successfully tackle Health issues such as mental health and obesity. These shall be treated with the correct
amount of respect and care. Facilities
and initiatives will be available to all, irrespective of where they live, or
their background. We declare that no Irish citizen will be left without a
home. Homelessness will become a thing
of the past.Ireland will be a place where each
person on our island has equal rights and opportunities regardless of the
colour of their skin or their beliefs.We the pupils of 6th Class
in Ballinora N.S are united in our dream and vision for Ireland’s future.
The morning ceremonies were followed by a Ceolchoirm in the Halla where we were entertained by Banna Cheoil na Scoile. We also enjoyed a performance by some of our Irish dancers and some wonderful singing from the various classes.
