series of events were held over St Patrick’s week 2010 to give pupils at Glasgow Schools an experience of Irish culture.

Over 30 schools entered an Art competition to produce a piece of work inspired by a poem from Patrick McGill the Donegal poet.

A schools Gaelic football tournament was well attended. Over 1000 children attended a free concert of Irish culture in the
City Halls on Monday 15 March. The same concert was open to the public at night.
