Hi everyone, I am doing a research project on the Irish language and heritage around the world I have created a short survey.
I would greatly appreciate it if you took a few minutes to answer it as I would like as many perspectives as possible. I have attached the link below.
Go raibh míle maith agat!

When the Ireland U20's arrived at Trafford MV for the 2016 U20 World Championship who would you have picked to be playing against Italy today?
Daisy recently sang at the last YGG (Young, Gifted & Green) now she is helping deliver fitness class free online to preschoolers all over the world! Never one to sit still!

Local A-Level student Daisy Davie decided to help her Mum & Dad's business out by organising coaches from several countries around the world (America, Guatemala, India, South Africa and Ireland) to deliver a Stretch-n-Grow class live to preschoolers all over the world. Watch it here and we are now hoping to deliver a live 'world wide coach' lesson every Monday during lockdown.
Well done Daisy!!!
