D’oscail an tAire Oideachais agus Scileanna Joe McHugh seomra nua adhmadóireachta I gColáiste Chineál Eoghain Dé hAoine seo caite.
Bunaíodh Coláiste Chineál Eoghain, atá suite i Muileannn Thulaigh Gharbháin, Bun Crannacha, sa bhliain 2007. Bunaíodh an scoil chun oideachas a chuir ar fáil do dhaltaí Inis Eoghain trí mheán na Gaeilge. Tá réimse iomlán ábhair an tSraith Shóisearach agus Ardteistiméireachta ar fáil, agus chuir siad clár Idirbhliana ar an churaclam le déanaí.
Leis an tseomra adhmadóireachta nua-aimseartha seo, cuirfidh seo leis an churaclam go mór do na daltaí Shóisearacha agus Ardteistiméireachta. Cuirfidh sé le go mór leis na hábhair ETIM (Eolaíocht, Teicneolaíocht, Innealtóireacht agus Mata) atá ar fáil sa scoil do chailíní agus buachaillí.
Ag lainseáil an tseomra ranga nua, dúirt An tAire Oideachais agus Scileanna Joe McHugh, ‘Is í Coláiste Chineál Eoghain an t-aon Gaelcholáiste in Inis Eoghain agus ba mhaith liom daoine a spreagadh leis deis a thapú agus tabhairt faoin oideachas dara léibhéal a bhaint amach trí mheán na Gaeilge’.

Minister for Education and Skills Joe McHugh, TD, opened a new woodwork room in Coláiste Chineál Eoghain on Friday last.
The school, based in Tullyarvan Mill in Buncrana, was established in 2007 to allow pupils from Inishowen to pursue their second level education through the medium of Irish. It has a full range of subjects at both Junior Cycle and Leaving Certificate and has recently added a Transition Year Programme to the curriculum.
The addition of this new state-of-the-art woodwork room will further enhance the curriculum provided to both its Junior and Senior Cycle students. It will contribute significantly to the suite of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) subjects on offer in the school for both boys and girls.
Launching the new classroom, Minister for Education and Skills Joe McHugh said, “Coláiste Chineál Eoghain is Inishowen’s only Irish medium secondary school and I encourage all to ‘Tapaigh an Deis’, Seize the opportunity, and complete your second level education through the medium of Irish language.”
Donegal ETB’s Chief Executive Anne McHugh, speaking after the opening said, “Donegal ETB was delighted that Minister McHugh could officially open this new room in the school. Coláiste Chineál Eoghain is one of fifteen schools that we manage across the county and it will host its annual open night on Thursday 13 December at 7.00pm so the official opening of this new woodwork room is very timely.”
