Derry girl claims silver at prestigious Irish language singing competition

Rory Mooney, 4 Nov

A young Derry woman has claimed a silver at a prestigious Irish

language singing competition.

Róise Ní Mhurchú of Cooleen Park, Culmore won a silver medal at the

Oireachtas competition for Amhránaíocht Ghaeilge/Irish singing.

Native Irish speakers from Gaeltacht regions participate in singing and

language competitions annually and Róise felt "honoured to bring home a

medal to Derry" on her first attempt.

The former Thornhill woman is studying Gaelscolaíocht/Irish language

education in St Mary's College of Education, Belfast.
