Loughboy was the first library to set up an Irish Circle in 2012 and it has flourished since with a full house every Wednesday at 11am.Since its establishment we have supported a mature student with Leaving Cert oral Irish and just recently a trainee primary school teacher has joined us in preparation for upcoming job interviews.
