Bonjour. Your precious little darlings arrived safely in Paris yesterday morning and spent the day sight-seeing – including the Louvre Museum, the Champs-Elysées and the Arc de Triomphe. They relaxed last night on a boat trip on the Seine before retiring to the hotel for a well-deserved night’s sleep.

Déanann muid comhghairdeas le beirt dalta Choláiste Oiriall, Michaela Ní Anluain agus Michaela Ní Dhonnghaile ar éirigh leo dul go Craobh na hÉireann le culaith s’acu ‘Cailín Báile Punc’ a bheas ar siúl i mBaile Átha Cliath i lár mhí Aibreáin.

Ca va from Paris. Our little treasures devoted their second day to Eurodisney and Aquaboulevard. They are now in Versailles and will visit the Eiffel Tower later. After their evening meal and they will bowling. Some pics to confirm to you that all the little (and big ones are enjoying themselves)

Tráthnóna maith daoibh ó Pharas. Good evening from Paris. Last few hours on French soil. Students enjoyed the behind-the-scenes tour of Stade de France but still would be very impressed with a similar tour in Croke Park. After lunch they enjoyed a few hours shopping – the most crucial few hours for some of the party.

Is laoch náisiúnta í Amy Ní Amaill agus ní thig í a mholadh go leor. Many congratulations to Amy Ní Amaill, Glaslough Harriers and Coláiste Oiriall, who won the Women’s under 19 800 metres title in the Glo Health National Juvenile Indoor Championships in the Athlone International Arena on Sunday in a time of 2:26:06.
