'A student symposium was held at the University of Ottawa recently for undergraduate students. Among the students chosen by the Faculty of Arts to take part, were three students from the Irish language class. Each presented on the Irish language today, the history associated with the language and the systems currently in place for the progression of Irish in the future. The symposium incorporated world cultures and it was particularly wonderful to therefore have the Irish language represented at it'.
'Cuireadh siompóisiam ar siúl le déanaí in ollscoil Ottawa dona mic léinn i mbun na buncéime a bhaint amach. I measc na ndaltaí a bhí roghnaithe chun páirt a ghlacadh, bhí triúr ón rang Gaeilge. Dhein siad cur i láthair ar an nGaeilge mar theanga inniu, an stair a bhaineann leis an nGaeilge agus an córas atá i bhfeidhm anois chun an Ghaeilge a chur chun cinn in Éirinn. Siompóisiam ar chultúir éagsúla timpeall na cruinne a bhí ann agus b'iontach an rud é go raibh trí chur i láthair ar an nGaeilge'.
