COLÁISTE CHIARÁIN MASSIVE, the biggest legends this side of the coast.
1. It was the best craic Gaeltacht
AND it was in the nicest little spot in Galway.
2. You spent SO much of your time on this patch of sand
Rain or shine! Mostly rain… Trá an Dóilín was the place to be.
3. Everyone knows that the teachers were more craic than the students
4. It’s full of messers
If you want to learn, off to Chamuis with ya! Chiarain is for the craic!
5. The day trip to Galway was so exciting
Everyone, pile on the bus and take out your money from the school bank. We’re getting Supermacs.
6. You were stuffed in a house with a heap of girls or guys you didn’t know for three weeks
But you sat under your mna tí’s name with pride.
7. You had many walks down these roads
Those bushes are just so easy to hide things in…
8. You shifted someone in a GAA jersey, GUARANTEED
If you leave Coláiste Chiaráin without shifting a lad or lady in their county colours, you will fail your Irish oral.
9. You were Cursa A, B, or C for life
Never switch, even if they try to make you.
10. Mam visited you on family day
Sunday, the day when your mam realised she can’t cope for two weeks without you.
11. The ceili’s were the BEST
Held in this hall. Cinema themes,
12. You lived for 1pm when classes would be over and you could get stuck into the activities
13. You’ll never forget the smell of the bibs
14. Or the craic on the water
You’ve fallen into Loch an Mhuilinn more times than you care to mention.
15. The best 99 could be gotten in the Eurospar down the main street
16. You had a rivalry with Cholumba
There’s only room for one school in An Cheathrú Rua.
17. You’ll never quite get over the shock of having mass in Irish
18. But you made some of the best friends you’ve ever had
You can’t beat it.
