Superb Language & Culture Night Filmed by TG4 at MCS

A truly magnificent range of wonderful language and cultural presentations took place at the annual event in Millstreet Community School on Thursday, 10th May 2018.  It was covered by TG4 for the television series “Guth an Phobail” for later transmission.  John Tarrant covered it for the “Corkman” while we were there for our Millstreet website.  Here we share a selection of images from the occasion which was a splendid credit to the participants and the organisers where our Irish Culture was creatively included in the wonderful mixture of global enriching cultures.  More images to follow in a future feature.
