THE 50th annual Lisnaskea Feis, held recently at St Ronan’s Parish Centre, showcased a high standard of competition, with a large number of impressive entries, particularly in the Irish Language section.
Mount Lourdes Grammar School earned special recognition at the event, with Sheila Maguire, Irish Language Secretary, presenting the school with the Eileen Magee Shield for the best post-primary school.
Student Aoife McCusker was awarded the Frank Maguire Rosebowl for being the best Irish speaker, and Lily Murray received a plaque as the most promising Irish speaker in the Grammar School section.
