Every year, Professor Pádraig Ó Macháin, the Director of the Centre for Spoken Irish, invites the Gaelscoileanna and Gaeltacht primary schools of Cork to UCC to celebrate the important work these schools do in promoting and developing the Irish language.

Nuala de Búrca, a tutor in the Centre for Spoken Irish, organizes a trip around the university for the visiting schools as well as a celebration with speeches and music afterwards in the Aula Maxima. The Centre for Spoken Irish wishes to create a link with these primary schools and to strengthen this special link between the first and third level in education.
