Cá bhfuil cónaí ort? What does your village, townland or parish name mean? That is the question posed this week by Westport Historical Society as they launch a novel schools poster competitions as part of the Seachtain na Gaeilge celebrations.
The competition is open to fourth, fifth and sixth classes in the Westport region. The motive behind the competition is to encourage children to research the name and meaning of their townland place name.
The competition runs until April 18th and all entries must be submitted to Westport Historical Society, Westport Quay, Westport, Co. Mayo. Further information is available from Sinsearlann Chuain Mó, Cathair na Mart at (098) 26852.
