Coláiste Lorcáin was chosen to participate in Comhrá, an educational and outreach initiative of the Supreme Court of Ireland.
Only four schools in the country were chosen for this pilot. Comhrá, the Irish for ‘conversation’ enables students to engage with Judges of the Supreme Court of Ireland live via video-conferencing technology.
The initiative is a collaboration between the Supreme Court, the Courts Service and the National Association of Principals and Deputy Principals (NAPD). Yesterday, December 9, 25 fifth year students in Coláiste Lorcáin, Castledermot participated in a live questions and answers session with two judges of the Supreme Court, Mr. Justice John Mac Menaminand Ms. Justice Elizabeth Dunne.
