Thanks for posting the video Jennifer. <br /><br />I also loved hearing "the Irish" and reading the translation. It brought back so much that I thought I'd forgotten when battling to learn this wonderful language 10-15 years ago. Will be watching it over and over again. <br /><br />Cheers, Catherine.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-390677411039765188.post-35858284849749927662012-03-31T12:50:49.014+01:002012-03-31T12:50:49.014+01:00Hello Jacqi,

I've watched it quite a few times because I just love the reactions of the students. It's as if they are eleven years old once again. Very sweet.<br /><br />Cheers to you,<br />JenniferÉire Historianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04588116386284997687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-390677411039765188.post-87898221389256988622012-03-31T07:31:01.671+01:002012-03-31T07:31:01.671+01:00What a valuable resource and excellent project ide...What a valuable resource and excellent project idea.

Thank you to each one ...Hello Susie, and Hello Jo,<br /><br />Thank you to each one of you for your comments. They are much appreciated.<br /><br />Susie, I completely agree with you that this kind of project would make a great addition to our school system. Sometimes it seems as though education is only aimed at the future, and with all the budget cuts history seems to land lower on the list with each passing year. Sigh.<br /><br />Jo, I would also like to get my hands on those books. Unfortunately my mom and dad were too young to participate in the programme, but my mother's eldest brother Anthony may have participated. I'd certainly like to have a look, so I'm going to stop by the UCD archives when I'm in Dublin in the Fall.<br /><br />Cheers to each one of you,<br />JenniferÉire Historianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04588116386284997687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-390677411039765188.post-10940430885764481202012-03-30T08:27:04.731+01:002012-03-30T08:27:04.731+01:00What an innovative idea for the time - I would lov...What an innovative idea for the time - I would love to look through those copy books :-)Jo Grahamhttp://www.imagespast.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-390677411039765188.post-34615219006052300442012-03-30T07:36:55.860+01:002012-03-30T07:36:55.860+01:00Thanks for posting this, it was very interesting. ...Thanks for posting this, it was very interesting. I loved the video! What a great idea they had, I wish our school system would do something like this. It would be a great way to get our children involved in family history preservation!Susie Reynoldshttp://www.ourfamiliesuntoldstories.comnoreply@blogger.com
