Mr. Ollie Kenny:

In the Drama League Of Ireland's summer schools we attract quite a number of teachers from both national and secondary schools. Our tutors are top people from the top level of directors and performers in the country in the professional sector. The teachers bring back a lot to the schools. We have a week-long residential summer school and that is disseminated into the classrooms in national and secondary schools. We know that because we get positive feedback about it. As well as the outreach programme I mentioned earlier, we did an outreach programme last year because we could not have a summer school. It was in Ballina, Corofin, Christchurch, Navan and in little towns and villages all over the country. The courses were well attended by local communities and they attracted a large number of young people. We are glad to be able to do that. We employ top professionals to do the work for us.
