Well done to 5th year students Kim, Lorraine and Pari who won TUD’s Youtuber for a Day competition for their video presenting Mount Carmel in French. Chapeau les filles !

Niall de Burca, Irish storyteller of renown, visited Mount Carmel library on Thursday April 

16th . Niall tells stories not only rooted in Irish legends, and as Gaeilge, but inspired by 

his travels around Europe and beyond. He had just come back from Ukraine the week

before he came to see us. 

Niall met our 1st, 2nd and 3rd years and 5th class students from Paradise Place Educate Together Primary School. That is a total of 110 Mount Carmel 

students, 15 Paradise Place NS students and 17 teachers.

He told us stories of bears and ghouls, of powerful strong women, chatty lizards and lazy 

crocodiles in Ireland, Romania and Africa to name but a few. 

Niall’s kindness and 

thoughtfulness meant he connected with everyone in the room. He gave us space to 

dream, lifted us up and inspired us – as well as making us jump out of skins with fright!

As Niall says himself Níor bhris focal maith fiacal riamh… A good word never broke a tooth.
