Teaching - a family tradition for young County Roscommon woman
Méabh Tighe from Strokestown who recently graduated with a Bachelor of Education from DCU St. Patrick's Campus.
Teaching has become a family tradition in the Tighe/ Daly household.
Méabh Tighe from Strokestown graduated with a Bachelor of Education from DCU St. Patrick's Campus on Friday, October 23rd. She currently teaches in Ballaghaderreen.
Méabh’s mother Carmel Tighe, graduated from St. Pat's also in 1993, and is principal in St. Patrick's NS, Strokestown.
Celebrating with Méabh were her two cousins, Clíodhna and Éadaoin Daly who are both graduates from St Pat's in 2014 and 2018. Clíodhna is principal in Tallanstown NS, County Louth and Éadaoin teaches in St. Mary's Primary School, County Meath. Their mother Mary Daly graduated 40 years ago from St Pat's in 1986, and is a retired principal from Coralstown NS, County Westmeath.
Clíodhna was only nine months old at Carmel's graduation in 1993 and has come full circle attending Carmel's daughter's graduation with her own nine month old Diarmuid.
All have fond memories of Drumcondra and of this campus and were delighted to be there to see Méabh receive her parchment and start her career as a teacher.
Also at the graduation was Méabh’s grandmother, Margaret Lloyd from Ballymahon who was thrilled to be with her daughters, granddaughters and great grandchildren, a host of teachers.
